About Solar Supply.com

CORPORATE PROFILE

Founded in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1975, Inter-Island Solar Supply is a member of The Solaray Corporation (TSC) family of companies. TSC's core businesses focus on the manufacture and distribution of renewable energy components and systems, water heating and storage equipment, pumps, motors and controls.

TSC does business in Hawaii and the Pacific Basin as both Inter-Island Solar Supply (IISS) and Pacific Liquid and Air Systems (PLA). In addition to its Hawaii operations, TSC owns and operates SunEarth Inc., a California corporation and the leading American manufacturer of solar thermal collectors, systems and ancillary equipment.

Under the same ownership and management for the past twenty-six years, Inter-Island Solar Supply (IISS) has grown to become one of the world's largest and most experienced wholesale suppliers of renewable energy components and systems. Our solar thermal and solar electric divisions are staffed by sales, design and engineering professionals with well over 150 years of combined solar industry experience.

IISS has three convenient branch operations in Hawaii located in Honolulu, Oahu, Kahului, Maui and Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. IISS supports its contractor customer network and the design community with a number of value-added services including mechanical and electrical design review, system sizing and performance simulations, CAD drawings and full product and warranty support services. Our engineering support staff is available to assist specifiers, builders, architects and mechanical engineers working on both residential and commercial projects.

In addition to a complete package of technical support services, IISS maintains the largest stocking inventory of renewable energy equipment and component parts in Hawaii and the Pacific Basin. Our renewable energy product inventory averages over $2 million and is available for immediate shipment from any of our three branch locations.

In the Pacific, solar water heating systems remain, in most instances, the most cost effective application of solar energy. Water heating represents between 30 - 50% of the total electrical load in a typical Hawaii home and the cost of electricity can exceed 20¢/kWh depending upon the island and generating efficiency of the local utility. Since 1975, IISS has supplied balance of system components for an estimated 50,000 residential solar water heating systems in Hawaii. Thousands of commercial customers also utilize solar equipment supplied by IISS.

IISS's direct involvement with solar electric (Photovoltaic) power systems since 1982 gives our Solar Electric Division unequaled experience in the specification of PV systems that are specifically designed for the Pacific Basin's exacting tropical marine environment. Our design professionals clearly understand the need and demand for maximum component reliability, corrosion prevention, peak system performance and simplified user interaction.

IISS is a factory authorized distributor and warranty station for the leading manufacturers in the renewable energy industry including, SunEarth, Ruud/Rheem, Grundfos Pumps, Ivan Labs, Edwards Hot Water Systems, Goldline Controls, Aquatherm, Rubatex, Well Mate, Shell Solar, Xantrex, Southwest Windpower, Servel, Concorde Battery, Sunfrost, Morningstar, SunDanzer, and Staber Washers.
