Suntech/ Hoku: Completion of Solar Installation
Hoku Solar, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Hoku Scientific, Inc. (Nasdaq: HOKU) and designer, engineer and installer of photovoltaic (PV) power systems, and Suntech Power Holdings Co., Ltd.(NYSE: STP), one of the world's leading manufacturers of solar photovoltaic (PV) cells and modules, today announced the completion of a 254-kilowatt PV solar power system at the Oahu warehouse and distribution headquarters of Paradise Beverages, Inc. The system uses more than 1,540 individual Suntech modules to produce an estimated 525,000 kilowatt-hours of clean solar power each year. It is the third of three solar projects totaling 358kw of power the Hoku-Suntech team have implemented for Paradise Beverages.
Hoku Scientific and Suntech work together at multiple points in the solar supply chain. In Hawaii, Hoku deploys Suntech modules for many of its commercial installations, while Suntech has engaged Hoku to supply it with solar-grade polysilicon from its planned production facility in Pocatello, Idaho.
''This was another successful project for Hoku Solar and a great example of our partnership-driven approach," said Dustin Shindo, chief executive officer of Hoku Scientific. ''Not only was it Hoku's largest PV installation to date, but it was an opportunity to strengthen our relationship with Suntech. Hoku takes pride in its partnership-driven approach and is pleased to be able to leverage our global solar industry partnerships for the benefit of our clients here at home.''
''These installations are among the first large-scale deployments of Suntech solar modules in Hawaii,'' said Roger Efird, President of Suntech America. ''With abundant sunlight, Hawaii is an ideal location for generating solar energy and is already home to a quickly growing solar market. We are very pleased to be partnering with Hoku Solar to bring the benefits of solar to the people of Hawaii and its beautiful environment.''
