HONOLULU—High above the bustling city of Honolulu, in a quiet, exclusive hillside neighborhood where some of the island’s wealthiest residents live, there is an extravagant home that’s not quite like the others.
The 6,000-square-foot house has a view overlooking Diamond Head, Waikiki, and the Pacific Ocean, and two Tesla cars in the driveway. It’s not the two electric cars that set the property apart from its swanky neighbors.
The difference is that this solar-powered home is completely energy independent.
