We live in Hawaii Kai (aka The Valley of Darkness), and the power has gone out repeatedly over the last few years. Since Eco Solar installed our Tesla Powerwall and solar panels, I genuinely don't know when it happens. No flicker, no beeping, no hunting for flashlights, the Powerwall takes over instantly and the house just keeps going. More than once I've found out we were in an outage from a neighbor texting me. The lights never even blinked. We shopped around and got quotes from several companies before committing. Eco Solar came in with the best pricing, and by a pretty good amount. What I appreciated just as much is that the number didn't move, it was a single advertised price, and that same number went directly to the credit union that helped me with financing. Michael French is who we worked with, and he's the reason I'd send anyone here. He walked us through system sizing and the Powerwall without any pressure, answered questions I'm sure he's fielded a thousand times, and was honest about what did and didn't make sense for our roof and our actual usage. He stayed reachable after the install too, which in my experience is exactly where a lot of companies go quiet. The install by the team happened in a single day, and all the permitting and paperwork was taken care of by the office staff, I barely had to do anything myself aside from the finance setup. The install is super clean and my neighbors have come by and asked who we used since it looks so professional. If you're a fellow Hawaii Kai resident and tired of the outages, or just tired of what you're paying HECO every month, ask for Michael. Can't recommend them enough. read more

As luck would have it, my previous updated review of Ecosolar would not be my last. After converting my system from running off of Sunpower/Enphase's microinverters to Tesla's inverter from my new Powerwall Plus, I had some worry about what might happen with a single point of failure. Midway through summer, I found that out when my entire system went down when it failed. I reached out to Chris from Ecosolar right away and let him know that I was having a problem and he started troubleshooting immediately. After some investigation it was determined that the inverter had to be replaced and after waiting for Tesla to ship out the part, it was replaced in a timely manner. I was back up and running again, until December when my system started acting up again, this time seemingly having a problem with one of the batteries. I contacted Chris again and let him know that I was having a problem again, and although communication was rough with the end of the year approaching and federal tax credits expiring, I had a service appointment scheduled for the first week of January. On their site visit, it was determined that my new Powerwall Plus itself had gone bad. They were able to start the RMA process with Tesla and told me it would be replaced, possibly with a new Powerwall 3, because the Powerwall 2 was end-of-life and not in production anymore. That meant they would also have to replace my original Powerwall 2 as well with a new Powerwall 3 expansion pack. They hoped optimistically that I wouldn't have to wait too long for the replacement. Fast forward to April and it did take longer than expected for Tesla to send them the replacements but the good news was that Tesla did indeed replace both of my Powerwall 2 units with a new Powerwall 3 and expansion. This did require much more work on the part of Ecosolar to retrofit than just unplugging the old setup and swapping in the new one, for my particular case, and I appreciate the extra lengths they had to go through versus just having to swap out the old if Tesla had just sent a Powerwall Plus replacement instead. I had been down for a few months but the upside is that I have a brand new set of batteries now in 2026. I would say my solar journey has been rougher than I expected it to be. Parts have failed. Parts have been replaced under warranty. Yes, I've experienced periods of time where my PV system has been offline due to failures, and had to deal with big HECO bills until those failures were resolved. I've had two Powerwalls replaced under warranty in the last 7 years (technically 3 since they swapped my still working Powerwall 2 with a new expansion pack), and an inverter. I had problems with weird glitches with power that kept tripping the Powerwall into thinking that I was experiencing a power outage, that Ecosolar's technician helped to diagnose and find out was actually a problem with HECO's underground service feed into my home (which was another years long adventure with HECO altogether). Sunpower's PV control system got booted offline and needed to be reset remotely. Each time I've had a problem I've contacted Ecosolar and each time they've addressed it to the best of their ability. Yes sometimes it takes time to get things resolved, and it can be hard to be patient. Tesla seems to take awhile to get things sent here but they have always come through thus far too. My additional cost for all of their warranty work and service over all this time has been ZERO. Every single problem I've ever had has been addressed. It's great if you can invest in something like this and never have a problem, but I understand that things happen when you're dealing with new technology, and it sucks but sh*t happens. But when you do invest in something as expensive as solar, it's good to know that I've invested with a company that takes care of it's customers. read more

Ok, I know a lot of solar companies are out there. Normally being the research heavy person I am, I would be looking at multiple companies before making a decision Not so with PV for us. After our first interaction, two years ago, with Mike, Ben and the team at Eco-Solar, it wasn't even a question in the minds of my wife and I. We would go with them again. The sales, service and install were service oriented, fair in price and quicker than Speedy Gonzales and the Road Runner. They helped appropriately size my need of additional panels for our new EV and growing family. Price was fair and moved pretty quickly through the process The only delay we had was for them to figure out how to best connect the new panels with our older install. They kept me in the loop and made it all possible to get things done quickly, efficiently and superbly The install team of Mo, Gavin and Kelii have been great to work with. They are polite, hard working, and were able to answer all my questions. I'm staring out my window as they are getting everything finished and eagerly waiting to see my electric bill evaporate. Thanks guys and hoping to do business with you again in the future read more

Eco Solar - Solar Installation Near Me - Waipahu, Hawaii

We wanted to install a battery, and Mike helped us assess our current system and realize that it needed an upgrade as well. He walked us through the entire process and gave us options at all times so we never felt pressured or the feeling of being up sold at any time. He helped us install a system that was within our budget and perfect for our growing Ohana. When it came to install, his entire team was professional, courteous, and kind. The level of communication, trust, and Aloha cannot be measured by a simple five star rating. If you are looking to going solar or upgrading your current system I would highly recommend this company! read more

Just wanted to give an updated shout out to Chris Osaki and Michael French of Eco Solar. Specifically, what you can expect AFTER installation, even years later, in terms of system support. We had an issue arise late one evening multiple years after our system was installed. Instinctively, we reached out to Chris & Michael after contacting HECO and began getting calls/texts back from them around 7am the next morning. They connected us with industry professionals who got out to our house and resolved the issue the SAME day. We were worried we'd be without service/a fully working system possibly for multiple days, as you often hear about with other outfits. Not Eco Solar--they provide support and info well after purchase/installation. MAHALO!!! read more

Eco Solar - Solar Installation Near Me - Waipahu, Hawaii

Installation was great,as scheduled.But,there was no follow up by my salesman (Matt H.) or Eco Solar to make sure system was up and running and understood Tesla system app.. Been 4 months, haven't heard from them,since. GJ 4/20/2026 read more

Eco solar installed my PV sometime in 2011 or 2012. The service rep explained things well and there was no problem with installation. My only complaint, is their lack of following up with my inquiries. I recently contacted their office, on two occasions, and I have yet to have a representative return my call. The first time I called (sometime in late January 2026), I left a voicemail. The second time I called (first week in March 2026), I left a message with a live person and was told someone would call me back. I'm still waiting to get a call back. read more

We were looking to add pv to our house in August because we were tired of paying on average $400 a month for electricity. We got 3 quotes from different companies. Eco Solar not only came in with the lowest quote, but they were the only ones that guaranteed that we would be able to have it installed by the end of the year. The other companies would not guarantee that we would get it installed by end of year. We were worried because we knew that there would be a lot of other families that were rushing to make the deadline of the end of the year in order to get the full tax credits since they would be ending at the end of 2025. I had countless questions throughout the whole process and Michael always replied back within minutes. Despite my own personal worries, Michael always reassured us that we would be taken cared of and there was nothing to worry about. The day of our install, the team that completed the install was awesome. They verified that we were good with the installation and gave us several options to make sure we were ok with the esthetic and looks before moving on. We were very happy with their work from start to finish. Eco Solar, Michael and his team were great to work with. We couldn't be happier. Looking forward to many many years of paying $0 for electricity. read more

Truly an awesome company! I don't know why it took me so long to find these guys but I'm sure glad I did. I needed a company that would remove and replace my leased SunRun PV system so that I could reroof and I also wanted to add an additional PV system on the side. After contacting more than a handful of other local solar companies all I got was the run around with non responsive and overly expensive BS which was a total waste of my time. Finally, I found Michael at Eco Solar. He is incredibly responsive, knowledgeable and quoted me a price I was more than happy with. He and the Eco Solar team took care of everything for me from permits, to seamlessly working with SunRun, Heco, and my roofing contractor to ensure everything went smoothly. The install team, Gavin, Mo, and Keli'i arrived on time and worked quickly. They did an excellent job. Eco Solar is punctual, clean, providing top notch service at beyond a fair price. read more

My family and I moved into a new home a year ago. With the tax credit set to discontinue we decided now is the time to install solar. Of course we went with Eco Solar again since our first time working together went so well. Our sales rep was Matt and he was great. Turns out he was also our sales rep for our previous property! From start to finish everything was easy and smooth. Installation was done in one day and we didn't have to worry about a thing. We will continue to recommend Eco Solar to all our friends and family. read more

Absolutely awesome service! Our family set up a meeting with Michael F. About a month ago and he was able to lay out exactly the costs, tax incentives, how much we would save, etc. I dragged my feet for a few weeks, until finally deciding our family should definitely get our solar done. I called Mike to tell him we were ready and this is how it went... Signed the contract and submitted my permit application that day. Next day, RECEIVED our permit (you read that right, one day for a permit). Following day, FULLY INSTALLED our solar with our Tesla batteries. If you're keeping track, that's 3 DAYS, not weeks or months, of installing our solar. The communication is top notch also. Team was great, even making sure aesthetics were important in the install. Michael will even meet with you to go over the app and all its uses to make sure to get the most out of the system. Highly recommend this company. read more

After much research, decided to go with Eco Solar for PV system on my newly constructed home. They had great reviews and competitive pricing. My Eco Solar rep, Kirby, answered all my questions and guided me thru the entire process. He made things simple. Kirby and installation crew were friendly, professional and efficient. Highly recommend. Len A read more

I reached out to Eco Solar after reading reviews and randomly hearing about their service and pricing from a mutual acquantance. Michael responded within hours of my inquiry and reached out to schedule a meeting at my residence. At our first meeting he had already researched the community energy trends, the weather patterns, and the history of the home. He quoted me based on our home dynamics along with his research findings. Michael laid out the timelines, requirements, costs, and contacts. I had to do some myself (we didn't have a plot diagram so I needed to pick one up from county). I decided to finance the system and install, also an option Eco Solar had recommendations for (no payments or interest for 18 months; awesome since we will receive a massive tax credit so we can pay on less than half the quoted price when the time comes). The entire process took several weeks but Michael and his team kept me informed at every checkpoint and responded immediately when I had questions. The install team took 3-4 hours for the PV panels and battery install and left a clean, professional looking product (see pics). Eco Solar has my full recommendation for anyone who is in the solar energy market. Ask for Michael, you'll get a home grown, no nonsense, professional consultation. read more

After purchasing a new home, I know that I wanted to install a solar system that will help with the electric bill. I have done extensive research with all the solar companies on the island and ended up choosing Eco Solar. And let me tell you, they did not disappoint. After scheduling an appointment, I did not even have to wait for a day to get a response from them. Michael, who's literally the nicest guy out there, gave me a call and scheduled an in person appointment right away. He came in and gave me the breakdown of EVERYTHING solar and the process. For someone who has no clue how to own one, Michael made it so easy to understand. After a couple of email exchanges, Michael informs me that he can install the system. I didn't even have to wait a week... that is insane! The installation didn't even take the whole day. His team are so knowledgeable with the process and it definitely showed me that they truly care and value their customers. From the beginning, Michael was very direct with all the information he was saying and transparent which is rare for companies since most just wants your business for money. Eco Solar has made this process so simple for me and I would 100% recommend them to everyone wanting a solar system installed. To Michael and his whole team, big mahalo to all of you. read more

They very unreliable company most stressful I ever investment I ever made. Eco solar installed me 18 Samsung panels $1350 per panel total $23500 comes 20 years warranty. The following year panels started dying one by one eco solar refused to replace them saying Samsung no longer makes panel, so far I have replaced 11 panels with my o n moneys. When heavy rain comes my roof underneath the panels leaks eco solar came did some patches but another heavy rain came and leaks still there same exact location i felt that eco solar is very unwilling so I bought some gallons Henry patches from Home Depot remove 4 panels where I suspected leaking, I cleaned the area thoroughly i patches the area so far so good roof is ugly good thing is covered by the panels. Btw my panels still under warranty to this day so I reached out to eco solar maybe things changed but instead eco solar John Osaki emailed me to look for another solar company to replace my panels on my own expense what an insult read more

Highly recommend Ecosolar/Sunpower for solar install. Received lots of good information from the company about options and system capabilities prior to committing. They have great financing program options if needed and top of the line panels and batteries as well. The permitting and install process was extremely fast. Install team was awesome, were able to make changes on the fly, and completed everything in one day. Initially heard about them through a friend who is also very happy with their install and service. Highly recommend. read more

Yep, it was time to step up to a Photovoltaic system for our house in Halawa Heights. We had already replaced the Solar panels for the hot water and Kirby said when we were ready to go total PV to let him know....Hi Kirby, we're ready! The house was measured and we decided we wanted the panels installed on the carport rather than the house roof. The area gets sun all day so it was decided 30 panels would be needed and there was more than enough space for it to work. The roof was recovered with fabric and coated three times with a high grade reflective coating. Panels went up several days later. As you can see from the attached photos they did a great job and we're now the proud owners of a new PV system. Goodby Hawn Elec. This company was professional from start to finish. The installers were polite, fairly quiet and cleaned away all the rubbish. Highly recommend you give them a call if you're even thinking about it. Kirby will give you everything you need to help you. read more

When working, our solar panels are great. We have not had a working solar system for 3 months now and are paying normal, high electrical costs. Our Tesla PW2 was recalled in 2025 (this system was a replacement to our first PW that died). Tesla sent an email notification to EcoSolar in October 2025 to initiate the replacement. We cannot get EcoSolar to respond to Tesla and initiate the PW3 replacement. They don't answer the phone. They aren't responding to email. We have no idea when our system may work again or a new PW3 will arrive. Our current experience with customer service is very poor. read more

From my initial contact with the solar designer, Kirby Mack until present, my experience working with Sun Power has been nothing but awesome. Even after my PV solar system was installed, Kirby helped me understand everything PV solar and especially with HECO's Customer-Grid Supply (CGS) program and the Smart Export (SE) program. I first contacted Kirby back in October 2022 and he went over everything from HECO billing, permitting, pricing for the PV solar system, the design and the installation of the entire system, and the Tesla app for the Powerwall. The building permit took seven months for approval which I believe should've been sooner, but it's the Honolulu C&C. Enough said. On the day of the installation, the full Sun Power crew was present and they only took three hours to complete the installation. They had to shut off the power for about 30 minutes but once they turned it back on, the entire PV solar system was up and running. The crew cleaned up all the debris once they were done, took some photos of their work, then left a little before 11am. Kirby was on it after the installation was completed. He followed up with me even while he was going through personal issues involving his health. I asked Kirby for some aerial photos of the solar panels and he came by 2 weeks later and took a couple photos with his drone. The operations supervisor, Coleen Murphy emailed me the photos of the panels the crew had taken and they look awesome! Kirby even gifted my family and I with an electric burner to use during a storm instead of using my kitchen range/stovetop and avoid draining out the Tesla Powerwall completely. If you're going to install a PV solar system, I recommend working with Sun Power. Kirby, you the man! Thank you for everything! I saved a lot money! I love seeing my HECO bill under $100! read more

I wanted to update my review to share some real world value information. After I had Sunpower by Eco Solar install my solar system, my electric bill had dropped from $300+ to around $120. My wife and I had started to watch our Tesla app and try to maximize our savings by running our big appliances during times we were at full battery and still prodding electricity. Because of the long rainy period in Spring, we knew we would do better in summer. Sure enough, we were able to drop our bill down further to about $70 once summer rolled in (May-June). Finally, I decided to replace our traditional water heater. This was not an easy decision to make since I spent a lot of money replacing the original water heater (thanks a lot Steve's Plumbing ). I decided to go through Home Depot and the experience was great, and easy. This month, we saw our lowest bill yet, $42! I still chat with Michael F. on occasion, and he's always got helpful ideas and information. He was just as excited as we were to hear about our newest bill. It would be much better if HECO was more fair with their rates, but at least we're not going to be blindsided again as the rates continue to soar. Overall, I can't recommend this company enough. Go out and get your solar system to save money immediately, and protect your ohana from HECO's price hikes in the future! read more

After getting over $800 per month electric bills we had to get solar (and we're only a family of 3). When we finally decided make the commitment and got our system installed in January 2024, we are so glad we did it. Michael French was thorough and personable. Eco Solar was able to install our residential system within a day. Michael has done a few follow ups just to check in with us. After 6 months of using the system. Our monthly bill now much more reasonable normally less than $150 a month so far.. and the savings we can apply to our solar loan. read more

Update: Ecosolar's main focus is with installations. In my experience, repairs beyond remote troubleshooting are outsourced. I've been in contact and waiting for 2 months for three optimizers to be replaced. Each email is with an excuse regarding the part. I've proposed two temporary resolutions, but both have been declined. No resolutions were presented on EcoSolar's side besides wait. Completely unacceptable. Buyer beware if you're looking at the total cost of ownership. read more

Prompt and professional service. Chris Osaki, the operational mgr was amazing to work with. Kept me informed, work crew showed up on time and cleaned up well. Electricians were quick and knowledgeable. Prices were very affordable. Warranty work on my Tesla Powerwall was seamless due to an operational issue with the software and battery. Highly recommended. Matt was my salesperson. read more

We just moved in less than 3 weeks ago to the Bluffs. I noticed the Sunpower truck outside so I stepped out to talk to Ben with interest in solar panels and backup batteries for our home. Ben connected me with Michael. Michael French got in touch with me that same day. The next day he visited us in person providing us with a wealth of knowledgeable and a level of comfort in what we felt we needed. We said yes! He said the set up would be fast. We didn't realize how fast. I cannot believe that within 10 days of meeting we now have solar installed. The team of install guys were swift, respectful, professional and friendly. They were prompt in their arrival time at 8am and literally completed by noon, possibly even before noon. I highly recommend Eco Solar and if the stars went higher than 5, they'd get it! Mahalo Nui Loa!!! read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company! From initial inquiry to installation, they were respectful, professional, friendly, knowledgeable, responsive, transparent, efficient, and did quality work. Michael French is the absolute BEST!! Explained everything so we could understand the benefits of solar based on our lifestyle, how many panels are recommended, cost estimate, tax credit savings, etc. He went at our pace and we never felt rushed at any point throughout the process. We thought the turnaround time for the entire process would take 6+ months to complete paperwork, HOA approval, loan, and installation but happily surprised all was done within 2 months. INQUIRY TO INSTALLATION TIME: ~ 7 weeks - Initial inquiry - FREE Consultation - Permit - HOA approval (BONUS: they will complete paperwork and submit) - Installation INSTALLATION: ~4.5 hours - Team showed up on time - Worked with us to inform when power would go off, how long, etc so I could save my work ahead of time - Cleaned up before leaving If you're interested in solar, do not hesitate to go with this company! Thank you Michael and team! We LOVE our solar and pretty Tesla PowerWall! read more

I was so happy to find Mike at Sunpower! He was very informative and very responsive. He made both me and my husband super comfortable with our solar decision. The best thing about Mike is that his team installs the solar and that same day your solar is turned on. He also acquires all the permits. He was able to come by the day our solar was installed to walk us through our Tesla app. He showed us how everything worked. His team did an excellent job with the install. Communication was great every step of the way. We couldn't be happier that we went with Mike and his team. Additionally, we got the upgraded all black solar panels at no additional charge. Mike has great customer service, you will not be disappointed. He wants you to be happy and truly cares about the service that is provided. Mahalo again Mike and the Sunpower Solar team! Best on the island for sure!!! read more

I recommend SunPower by Eco Solar, who recently installed 22 PV panels and two Tesla batteries at our residence. For the past three months our HECO bill has been the minimum flat rate of $25 (for grid connection). 100% of our electrical needs has been generated from the PV panels and stored power in the batteries for night-time use. In the future, we plan to purchase an electric vehicle which is why we are generating more electricity than is currently needed. One of our neighbors, who had SunPower by Eco Solar install at their former and current residence, recommended them. Another neighbor interviewed other providers and said the SunPower by Eco Solar representative was the most knowledgeable. We elected to install the SunPower SPR-X21-350-BLK-AC panels on the backside roof (front side is optimal location) for aesthetics which resulted in purchasing two extra panels to generate the same amount of electricity. SunPower is a large PV manufacturer headquartered on the mainland (San Jose, California) and their equipment comes with a 25-year warranty. SunPower by Eco Solar is licensed, has a A+ rating with the BBB, and is one of the few with a designation "SunPower Master Dealer". Matt and Ben came to our house and provided useful information, answered all our questions, and subsequently provided a design plan. Chris resolved an initial setup software problem by escalating the issue to the SunPower's Regional Manager who called me to explain what happened. Additionally, SunPower by Eco Solar took care of DPP permitting and necessary agreements with HECO. The one-day installation crew was professional, installed [hid] wiring within the attic/roof area, and cleaned-up the site afterwards. read more

Michael French is the most competent and personable sales professional you're ever going to meet. His relationships at Tesla for PowerWalls reach Drew Baglino. He is often invited to teach other installers how to size and configure PV systems. And he did a brilliant job of sizing our system. After 4 months, we're paying the minimum HECO connection fee OF $30/month on each of the two systems that we ordered. DPP really jerked us around asking for trivial and seemingly unnecessary changes to our plans because we are in the AH flood zone. They made each change without hesitation. When it came to installation, Ben Parish, the EcoSolar CEO showed up to supervise the crew on both days all day. I couldn't believe how fast they installed all the PowerWalls and boxes. And it all worked without issue on day 1. All inspections were passed without exception. read more

At my previous home, it took about two months before the company (not eco-solar) came and installed my PV system. Check this out: At my new home (@ Hoopili), while securing my PV loan, Eco Solar did all the necessary paperwork for installation. The best part: My PV system with 2 Tesla batteries was installed THE DAY AFTER my PV loan was accepted. From getting the quote from Michael French to the installation of the PV system took less than 2 weeks! That's insanely fast! There's no bullshit from this company when it comes to PV installation and approval. read more

Reached out to ecosolar due to their overwhelming positive reviews on yelp. Mike reached out within a couple of hours of my inquiry. We set up a meeting time after providing current electric bills. Met Mike at our property to go over a possible plan, pricing, needs, etc. Once an agreement was made, Mike and his team flew through all approvals (heco, dpp, my subdivision associations). From the time we signed the agreement to install date was roughly over 1 week. Impressive! On install date, the install team of Gavin, Mo, and Kelii once again explained the plan and then proceeded to start. The entire installation took just about 4 hours. Once again impressed. At wrap up, Gavin went over everything and explained the app for battery. Now it's just the waiting game for Heco to inspect and approve. Thanks again Ecosolar! read more

NO SERVICE. 000000--ZERO STARS. (Couldn't post without one star) Our process was the opposite of what we expected and read about Eco Solar. Almost a year after we initiated this process, we were informed that our contract expired (!), even though it was their responsibility to get things going within 90 days of signing the contract. Here's our experience. We chose to work with Eco Solar because of its stellar 4.7++ Yelp reviews. Michael responded right away. On 10/31/23, we got quotes, the timeline, the contacts and signed within 10 days. Great rapport with Michael. Coleen sent HECO forms. We needed clarification, but she DID NOT RESPOND to messages left nor emails sent. On 11/15, Chris called to schedule a site inspection. We set it up, stayed home on 11/21 so he would have access to whatever he needed. NO SHOW. On 11/28, we contacted Michael who said no news is good news. When we asked about Coleen, he said she was out of town and perhaps the reason for her not responding to our inquiries. Since we travel back and forth to the mainland, we wanted an update on our installation, therefore, on 12/18, we called Coleen again. NO RESPONSE. Finally, on 1/3/2024, we texted Michael for an update. He said he'd call us the next day. NO CALL BACK. Very disappointing since he gets all the kudos on the reviews. And he really is well informed and a great front man for the company. So in the end, on 9/25/24, we received an email from Eco Solar with this information: Solar PV Contract - SunPower by Eco Solar - has been voided for the following reason: Our apologies, this proposal has expired. If you are interested in obtaining a new quote, please contact your solar designer. Thank you for considering Eco Solar LLC! No calls. No text from Michael or Coleen. No explanation of what happened! Why would I contact their solar designer for a new quote? read more

100% recommend! Excellent service by Michael French! Ask for him by name. Great price and amazing people and equipment. Started with 12 panels and one Tesla battery... knocked our normal $200+ electric bill down to $70+/-... Then upgraded to 32 panels and 2 batteries... haven't touched the grid even once! And our batteries haven't dropped below 25% ever! And it's not feeding back into the grid almost daily. Payed for it with a loan fromHSFCU and it was "no payments and no interest for 24 months"! Totally worth it. And the tax savings was excellent! Don't hesitate to call Michael and make the leap! (More photos coming soon) read more

Their team was great! Speedy install great customer support. Done the contract on 19 June 23 had installed 20 July 23 and were pulling power from the panels now. Our electric was $600 a month. We used them on our last home as well with the same results. Their also working with the banks to offer 2yr no payments no interest loans. Which we turned around and used the tax credit to payoff last time. read more

There are many companies to choose from, but SunPower by Eco Solar tops them all! Mike F took the time to explain every detail about the system, and answered all of our questions with no hesitation. The office staff kept us up to date on progress with HECO, helped with the application process, and answered all of our questions. The install team Gavin, Mo & Ben showed up on time, completed the install with no issues (they completed before the anticipated time) and cleaned up the mess leaving the site clean. Post install, Mike has been available to answer numerous questions. Can't wait to see the savings! read more

Let me start off first by thanking Mike and his entire team for an easy and amazing experience. We are so excited to be able to say we have solar. 16 Panels and a Tesla Powerwall later....we are proud to say we have taken a step to go green and save money! We both were cautious in making the decision on going solar with our new home purchase. The idea of the process seemed daunting with association rules, HECO, tax incentives, and even financing. Mike arrived at the house already looking at our setup as he walked into the home. Efficiently assessing and walking me through the system as we made our way in. It took all but 3 weeks from the time of Mike arriving till installation and us being up and running. The Eco Solar team handled everything from assessing and providing the best system recommended based on now and future use, contract, Gentry Association Application, HECO application, Financing recommendations and installation. We did not need to do a single thing besides DocuSigning, and Finance application! The Installation team was simply impeccable. They all arrived on time, had all the tools for their craft and made everything look so easy! The communication is truly something to commend. Installation is one thing, but to be as courteous, kind, proffesional, and to be able to answer all my questions without hesitation is what every customer would want and should receive. The quality of their work...fit and finish, marvelous! They worked hard to deal with a Zero Lot issue as I was disappointed with Association rules but the Team assured me that although I didn't agree with the rules, that it would both look okay and that I would not run into any future issues with my association. Mike also did a follow up call to see how things went from my side and made sure to answer any questions I may have had and also explained what other follow on tasks. We are still waiting on HECO for our new meter, and I am sure that Eco Solar will be making follow up contact as well. We Highly Recommend Eco Solar and the entire ease of making the transition. I am confident in saying that anyone who chooses to do solar, should do so with Eco Solar. You will not be disappointed! read more
