Why Solar Power
Take control of your energy costs
Hawaii’s energy landscape is a shaky one. The nation’s highest electric rates and highest petroleum import rate — it’s unpredictable at best, unsustainable at worst.
A Sunetric solar PV installation offers you the opportunity to completely decouple your energy costs from the shifts in global fuel price trends. Creating a hedge against the volatility of traditional energy rates is one of the many benefits of solar power — you’ll immediately see profitable results, and you’ll continue to see them in the face of changes in the energy economy.
A 3-year ROI
Hawaii has the nation’s highest electric rates, and with the vast majority of Hawaii’s power coming from shipped-in petroleum, they’re not going to get any lower. With skyrocketing utility bills and the available state and federal tax incentives, a $1,000,000 investment in a solar photovoltaic system will pay for itself in about three years on Oahu. On neighboring islands, return on investment is even faster due to higher electricity rates.
Protecting the environment that protects us
The energy economy is unpredictable for an important reason — the availability of resources globally is unpredictable. Sunetric understands the need to be forward-thinking. As the largest and most experienced solar company in the state, Sunetric is at the forefront of Hawaii’s energy revolution. As locals, we fully understand that our best interest is inextricably tied to Hawaii’s, and that sustainable energy independence is imperative. We believe every roof in Hawaii should be productive: Our (collective) future depends on it.
Go green
Expand your branding and marketing opportunities into the vital environmental marketing sector. An authentic focus on renewable energy is an enormous boon to the image of your organization. Current cultural attitudes favor greener, lower-impact lifestyles and consumers are looking to business to take the lead. A recent study titled Climate Change in the American Mind explains:
"large majorities of Americans said that everyone — companies, political leaders at all levels of government, and individual citizens — should do more to reduce global warming. Likewise, despite the economic crisis, over 90 percent of Americans said that the United States should act to reduce global warming." In addition, it cited that "85 percent of those surveyed supported tax rebates for people buying energy efficient vehicles or solar panels."
As a Sunetric customer, you can market your environmental credentials in a way that positions you among businesses leading the way for change.
