Kipapa Elementary School Career Day 2012

Alternate Energy Inc.'s community event in September was at Kipapa Elementary School, where we attended Kipapa Elementary School's Career Day!

Our management team has strong ties to Hawaii's community. Craig Kawamura, our Director of Sales, was invited by one of Kipapa's teachers and his former high school classmate to attend this special day. Craig and Michael Ito, our Director of Marketing, went to visit Grades Four, Five, and Six, and sat in three half-hour sessions with the students to talk about renewable energy and how to pursue a career in solar. Craig and Mike also shared lunch with Kipapa's students in their cafeteria, and participated in a 'Bully Busters' skit, where they gave away Alternate Energy Inc. hats and water bottles in prizes.

We are grateful for the opportunity to give back to our community!

Mitsubishi Japan Trip

Our week long trip to Japan is finally coming to an end. So many things that we learned. This trip just reaffirmed what we already knew...Mitsubishi is the BEST module on the market!

We got to tour the cell production, module assembly, R&D center and the smart grid facility. We will document the trip in detail on our website once we get back.

New Truck

Just in time for the year's end rush. Thanks to Basil and the guys at Peterson Sign company for another great Grafix wrap. Keep an eye out for one of our trucks in your neighborhood...

Who said we don't Flash??!

Flashing is an option that could be recommended but may not be required. We use PV quickmount flashing for our asphalt installations that require flashing. Flashing will slide under the shingle diverting water around any roof penetrations.
