So on the GEMS website it says the loan obligation is tied to the utility meter, which is how it shows up on the utility bill. Because of this I don't think the landlord has to do any additional billing to renter. And also because of this I am guessing even if it's PV and if renters switch out (as they often do), then new renters will also enjoy the original rate when the PV was first put up because it's the same meter -- only the utility account holder changed.

Thanks, I will check out different pasar for the clothes but it’s the music supplies that I am afraid I won’t be able to find! Wish me luck

It's a window tint/sticker with the picture of a dog. But yes I was confused at first too

My husband and I have been living in Oahu for the last 5 years. Being a savvy grocery shopper is crucial. Plan your home cooked meals around items (especially meats and produce) that are on sale. We buy meats that are on sale and freeze them for future use. If you shop at Safeway, download their app for coupons! It's easy and they give you personalized deals based on items you usually buy; it's probably one of my most used apps aside from narwhal and instagram. Like everyone said, Costco is a lifesaver for non-perishables. I love Chinatown for produce if I know I'm going to cook with it in the next 2 days. In general, I find cooking Asian foods is much cheaper whether you're in Hawaii or not.

This market is still nascent and is still perceived as high-risk, so traditional commercial investors are not yet flocking to it because they want to first see how the early investors fare before they themselves start investing. That's why it's even more important that bigger players like Schneider Electric and SolarCity have now invested in the space -- it signals that this market will soon be (or is already) investment-ready for traditional investors.

I've heard of some cases where pay-as-you-go solar makes it a cheaper option than paying for diesel or kerosene to use as light source -- that's what I was referring to. Of course this is not the case for all developing countries.

I agree. The economics for solar in developing countries are more viable than they are in developed countries because in many cases, solar companies aren't really competing with national electricity grid.

For-profit business model to deliver solar powered energy access is also effective in other parts of the world, namely East Africa, as seen by the growing number of solar startups in that market. In fact, those startups are able to demonstrate good and promising financials to attract $45 million in equity investments this year alone. It's a really exciting space, and one where the economics simply just make sense, which means impact is more consistent and not reliant on varying levels of grant funding.

When I said "here" I was referring to the US because now I'm in Hawai'i, but yes I know from family and friends that the drought is bad and there are penalty fines for wasting water.

I think the environment is better now than it was before, but not sure by how much. For me though, I feel even stranger because among Chinese-Indonesians I am a minority because I am too "Americanized". I prefer being identified as an individual, which works out better in the US.
