This Hawaii based, highly rated, growing, and very profitable solar power and battery backup systems installation company, and its real estate is now offered for sale due to the pending retirement of the owner.

The Company provides both high quality energy consulting, and the installation of solar power products for residences and commercial/industrial buildings in Hawaii. They use only the best available branded products and technology available, and consistently have the highest customer reviews in their market. Sales are either in cash or the Company can help customers obtain financing.

The key demand drivers for the business are: (1) the very high cost of electricity in Hawaii (which is primarily based on high cost imported oil) and is 166% higher than the average US city; and (2) federal and state income tax incentives.
