Avatar is a full service provider in renewable solar projects which has multiple solar productions sites throughout the islands of Hawaii and the state of California.

Solar energy is an increasingly affordable option without any incentives, however, both the state and federal governments have fully recognized the benefits of solar energy and offer solar tax incentives and tax rebates.
