Suntech Hawaii’s management team is committed to developing renewable energy business models that work. As a local company, we know that there is no better place to for renewable energy than Hawaii - because our electricity costs are cripplingly high, because of our state’s generous state tax incentives, because our solar resources are unparalleled, and because our spectacular natural environment is a constant reminder of what is at stake in the battle to address climate change. Because solar energy makes economic sense for virtually all Hawaii businesses, we are able to partner with companies statewide to increase Hawaii’s renewable energy portfolio.
