From Concern to Resource: Hawaii's Energy Transition with Solar and Battery Power
Hawaii's energy transition illustrates a significant shift from concerns about solar energy overloading the grid to recognizing its value in preventing outages, particularly during the closure of coal plants.

With advancements in battery technology and control systems, solar energy has now become a crucial asset for grid stability. The unique 'Nessie curve' phenomenon in Hawaii reveals that midday solar production can sometimes exceed the grid's demand, highlighting the need for adaptive strategies in energy management, akin to California's 'duck curve.'
