A $3,000 donation enabled the Maui Waena Intermediate School security guards to attach a solar panel to an electric golf cart. The school’s 16-member robotics team got tremendous support from Sunetric Capital, an Oahu-based company that helped them in purchasing the solar-roof panel from GreenCarts. Now the guards do not need to charge the cart electrically every night.

The retrofit includes attaching a photovoltaic-charging system to the golf cart, and some paintwork, of course. Now the cart will go on to save 250 pounds of coal annually. While running on renewable energy, it will also reduce carbon-dioxide emissions by 500 pounds.
The "green" golf cart continued to operate without an electric recharge in the first month and a half of use.
