Local solar installation company: article consists of a promotional list of customers; references are local business publications that are not discriminating in the coverage and therefore unreliable.  DGG ( talk ) 04:09, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I think the article is mostly fine, but it does have promotional tone to it, so should be made more neutral.Frmorrison (talk) 16:12, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

 * I accepted the article at AFC because the references looked fine. They look to be independently written, by multiple different people with signification coverage, matching WP:GNG. SO I would suggest that we keep it.  Promotional tone could be changed by making this more like an encyclopedic article I suppose. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 08:03, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep. Seems okay.  Search of a major newspapers national database gives 8 mentions in Honolulu - Star Advertiser, including "Business Briefs. Anonymous. Honolulu Star - Advertiser [Honolulu, Hawaii] 20 Aug 2011., which includes: "Honolulu-based Island Pacific Energy and two mainland companies were awarded a contract Friday worth up to $500 million to install solar power systems on Hawaii military installations. / The mainland companies are Pacific Energy Solutions, a division of ECC of Burlingame, Calif., and Photon Finance of Mountain View, Calif. The solar systems will be installed at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Marine Corps Base Hawaii, Schofield Barracks, Wheeler Army Airfield, Tripler Army Medical Center, Fort DeRussy and elsewhere. / "This contract will be the largest installation of photovoltaic solar energy facilities in Hawaii's history," said Island Pacific Energy President Joseph Saturnia."  A bigger article in 2013, "Navy halts move for solar project on historic runway" Cole, William. Honolulu Star - Advertiser [Honolulu, Hawaii] 13 June 2013, describes the project more fully and gives www.dodhawaiisolarea.org as location for environmental assessment comments.  Other brief mentions are about other installations and about hirings of various management staff, etc. -- do  ncr  am  04:42, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep - yes, it's a bit "rah-rah" in tone, but that can be fixed in the normal editing process. They seem to have a lot of high-profile work. Bearian (talk) 16:11, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
