“Taking a company public is a significant accomplishment, as were Darryl's contributions in transitioning Hoku from fuel cells to solar and helping to raise capital during these tough economic times,” Hoku audit committee chairman and board member Dean Hirata said.

“As we have moved from a start-up to an emerging growth company, I feel that now is the right time for me to move on to my next challenge,” Nakamoto said. “I'm extremely proud to be a part of the many accomplishments of Hoku, and I am thankful for all that that Hoku has done for me over the past seven years. I'm confident that Hoku is positioned to become a leader in the global solar market.”
