Hi-Power Solar’s Commercial Solar System Helps The Limtiaco Consulting Group Receive Kaulike Level Certification by Hawaii Green Business
Honolulu, Hawaii (PRWEB) March 23, 2015 -- With the federal tax credit set to sunset at the end of 2016, businesses in Hawaii are hurrying to purchase commercial solar systems. The State of Hawaii Tax Credits do not have a sunset date at this time. Hi-Power Solar completed the commercial PV project for the Limtiaco Consulting Group, a civil and environmental engineering firm in December, 2014.
“As Civil and Environmental Engineering Consultants, TLCG believes the environment is a precious resource and should be cherished and respected. In 2013, TLCG purchased our building and immediately looked into making our new home environmentally friendly. TLCG was recognized as a 2014 Hawaii Green Business with the assistance of Hi-Power Solar. Hi-Power Solar installed 161 Mitsubishi PV panels that should cover all of our electrical usage for years to come. Ron, Cruz and the rest of the Hi-Power Ohana were open and responsive throughout the entire bidding, permitting, construction and warranty process. It has been a pleasure working with Hi-Power Solar and we thank them for helping TLCG become better stewards of the environment,” says Ian Arakaki, PE, Principal, TLCG.
The Mitsubishi solar panels were selected by TLCG primarily because of their precision manufacturing, corrosion resistant design, cost effectiveness and reliability. Mitsubishi is a 100 year old company with the worlds only 100% lead-free construction. Coupling the Mitsubishi panels with ABB's high wattage micro-inverters created a system that runs considerably cooler and requires fewer solar panels.
“Micro-inverters have several advantages over string inverters. They allow you to control the panels’ output individually and offer module level Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT), reducing efficiency loss in a variety of challenging conditions,” says Cruz Romero, General Manager, Hi-Power Solar.
Hi-Power Solar encourages businesses in Hawaii to take advantage of the federal and state tax credits before the federal sunset date. Residential customers should also take advantage of this even if it is only to install a solar hot water system. Hi-Power Solar even offers its commercial clients' employees attractive discounts on residential PV, solar hot water systems, solar pool heaters and battery (Grid-Tied and Off-Grid) systems.
