Alternate Energy Inc. was founded in 1993 and is one of Hawaii’s oldest solar-energy companies, specializing in the design and installation of photovoltaic systems, solar water-heating systems and solar attic fans. Owner/founder Bruce Ekimura and his team stay true to their roots with a steadfast commitment to helping Hawaii families and businesses make the switch to solar. Top-quality product, expert installers and terrific customer service are the hallmarks of this homegrown company, built on trust, friendship, best business practices, and a strong sense of responsibility and aloha for our Hawaii community. In 2011, Alternate Energy became the first official Mitsubishi Elite Dealer and Certified Solar Contractor in the U.S., to responsibly sell and install Mitsubishi’s high-quality photovoltaic modules, including the new MLE Series, at exclusive elite-dealer pricing.
