CongratulationsWelcome to Alternate Energy Inc's. Energy Analysis and Proposal for a grid tied photovoltaic system to be considered for the Proposal's residence of 1234 Test St. The purpose of this document is to illustrate the advantages for you, your household and the environment by installing a gridtied photovoltaic system with Alternate Energy Inc. Three GenerationsAlternate Energy Inc. (AEI) is a familyowned and operated business with a long history of serving kamaaina. More than 30 years ago, Bruce Ekimura, a plumber by trade, realized that harnessing the power of the sun could help Hawaii families combat the rising price of electricity and help our state become less dependent on imported oil. Bruce and his father became early specialists in the installation of solar hot water heaters, and later photovoltaic (PV) systems, and in 1993 Alternate Energy was officially incorporated. |
Today, as rising oil prices continue to keep electricity rates soaring, Alternate Energy remains committed to helping local families and businesses discover the clean, green, moneysaving power of the sun. Elite Installer
Alternate Energy Inc. recently achieved
the status of Panasonic Solar's first and only recognized Elite Installer
in the state of Hawaii. This means that we are
Elite Training & CertificationAll of our highly skilled solar technicians are employees (not subcontractors) annually Trained and Certified by Panasonic Solar to design, install and service all of your PV needs. |
Elite ProductsWe understand that photovoltaic systems are a long term investment. That's why we invest in the most reliable companies that have been trusted for years. Panasonic Solar's premium solar panels are among the highest efficiency and highest rated panels in the industry.

Pure2 Black Series
Super-efficient performance through the most advanced cell structure to capture more sunlight. Highest power density (W/m2 ) gets the most energy out of a limited space. Lowest warranty claims rate in solar.
Our newest IX8 Microinverters are the industry's first grid-forming microinverters
with split-phase power conversion capability to convert DC power to AC power
efficiently. The brain of the semiconductor-based microinverter is our proprietary
application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) which enables the microinverter to
operate in grid-tied or off-grid modes. This chip is built in advanced 55nm technology
with high speed digital logic and has super-fast response times to changing loads
and grid events, alleviating constraints on battery sizing for home energy systems.
IronRidge Solar Roof Racking accommodate some of the longest spans in the industry, reducing the number of roof attachments and saving time and money 
IronRidge FlashFoot2 raises the bar in solar roof protection. The unique water seal design is both elevated and encapsulated, delivering redundant layers of protection against water intrusion. 
The hardware like nuts and bolts used in our installations are all stainless steel. This is to ensure a long lasting installation and foundation for your photovoltaic system.
Your Solar FutureWhat can you be sure of in times like this? You can be sure that your PV system will pay for itself while saving you money. As an investment property your PV system will yield a steady return year after year regardless of what the economy is doing, protecting your household from rate hikes.
