Hoku Solar and Suntech Power Install Solar Power System at Paradise Beverages

Posted on: Wednesday, 23 July 2008, 09:01 CDT

Hoku Solar, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hoku Scientific, and Suntech Power Holdings, a manufacturer of solar photovoltaic, or PV, cells and modules, have completed a 254-kilowatt PV solar power system at the Oahu warehouse and distribution headquarters of Paradise Beverages.

According to the companies, the system uses more than 1,540 individual Suntech modules to produce an estimated 525,000kWh 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.

Dustin Shindo, CEO of Hoku Scientific, said: "This was another successful project for Hoku Solar and a great example of our partnership-driven approach. Not only was it Hoku's largest PV installation to date, but it was an opportunity to strengthen our relationship with Suntech."
