UH Maui Installs 3,300 Solar Panels, Becomes âNet-Zeroâ Campus January 28, 2021 The University of Hawaiâi Maui College (UH Maui) has installed more than 3,300 solar panels on campus, reducing reliance on fossil fuels by an estimated 100 percent. The college is now ânet-zero,â meaning it makes as much energy as it uses, thereby achieving carbon neutrality. Furthermore, during periods of low energy usage, UH Maui can store battery power for future use. âThis project speaks to our collegeâs innovation, to our responsibility to our community,â UH Maui Chancellor Lui Hokoana said. âIt provides a deeper experience for our students and shows what we can do to protect our values and our environment.â
