Lighthouse Solar Signs Franchise Partnership Agreement in Oahu, Hawaii

Online, March 29, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Lighthouse Solar, a Boulder, Colo. based solar integration company, has recently granted a franchise in Oahu, Hawaii. Lighthouse solar and Mark Kelley, its new franchise partner, see a bright future for solar energy on the island.

Hawaii has set very aggressive goals for meeting a high portion of its energy demands from renewable energy. Currently, the state derives nearly 90 percent of its electricity production from fossil fuels. Hawaii does not have these resources on its islands meaning oil, gas, and coal are shipped in creating higher energy costs and more of a reason for Hawaii to create its own renewable energy.

Lighthouse Solar developed its franchise program from an integrators perspective. "Our program was created through years of growing successfully in a competitive solar energy market," said Tom DeFrancia, Vice President of Lighthouse Solar. "We have bottled our business model, added training and support staff, and now offer a complete business opportunity for those looking to enter the sales, design and installation of solar energy systems."
