A recent report from the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), in conjunction with the Vote Solar initiative, offers a snapshot of some of America's biggest companies and their varying committments to commercial solar installations.

Solar energy is being deployed in a big way by some of the nation's most influential brands who understand that solar can both lower operating costs and increase bottom line profits.

 

At the top of the list for solar capacity were Wal-Mart, Costco, Kohl's, IKEA and Macy's. Perhaps surprisingly, Wal-Mart topped the list with almost double the capacity of 2nd place Costco.

But when considering the massive amount of real estate that Wal-Mart occupies across the country, it's easy to understand why they might have more capacity than their competitors. They simply have more roorftops!

The trend in commercial solar installations is very exciting. With their immense purchasing power, these major corporations are demonstrating the economics of Hawaii solar PV systems and the clear value propostions of solar energy generation.

Energy costs make up a significant chunk of a business's operating expenses. A solar PV system helps to reduce these costs, improve the bottom line and allow a company to focus more energy and financial resources on their core competencies.

Sunetric is the leading installer of commercial PV systems in Hawaii. More businesses have chosen to go solar with Sunetric than any other solar company in the state. We've helped over 100 commercial clients from local small businesses to large military installations take control of their own energy needs.

Right now state and federal incentives offer up to 54.5% back, but we don't know how long these subsidies will last. So if you're thinking about going solar, don't wait, now is the time!
