HONOLULU, USA: Hoku Solar Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Hoku Scientific Inc. has been engaged to design, engineer and install a photovoltaic (PV) power system for Diagnostic Laboratory Services Inc., a provider of clinical laboratory and related services in Hawaii and other Pacific Islands.
Hoku reported it had been selected by Diagnostic Laboratory Services through a competitive bidding process, and that it had entered into a subcontract with Allied Builders System to install the 339-kilowatt, turnkey PV system.
The solar energy project will be completed as a part of a renovation of the former Panasonic warehouse in Halawa valley on Oahu, which will house Diagnostic Laboratory Services' new state-of-the-art laboratory and headquarters. Once installed, the system is expected to generate more than 490,000 kilowatt hours of clean, renewable solar electricity each year.
"Hoku is proud to partner with Allied Builders System, Architects Hawaii Ltd., and Diagnostic Laboratory Services on this exciting project," said Dustin Shindo, chairman and chief executive officer of Hoku Scientific.
"Solar power makes good business sense for our company," said Richard Okazaki, president and chief executive officer of Diagnostic Laboratory Services. "The planned PV system will help stabilize operating costs at our new facility, and we are pleased to have the benefit of Hoku's expertise as we work to further integrate clean, renewable power into our operations."
"We look forward to working with Hoku Solar on the Diagnostic Laboratory Services project, and hope to collaborate with them on future projects as well," said Gary Oda, president of Allied Builders System.
