To my luck…read morejust as this happened the original installers was undergoing bankruptcy and because my system was paid off it was not purchased by the new company. I was left with no service provider. I called a couple of companies and they either couldn't provide service or the information given was really no help. I called Independent Energy and Sean-Daniel listened to the issue I was facing and provided excellent care. There were a lot of hoops to clear but Sean-Daniel guided me through the whole thing. Then to top it off just as the Tesla battery was finally ready for replacement, my inverter stopped working. Through our communication, I simply asked if that was also something they could help me with also. I simply had to provide some information and they took care of the rest. I was kind of left on my own with the previous company, but Sean-Daniel and Independent Energy really guided me through the replacement process and took care of me even though they were not the original installers. If you ever get into a situation similar to mine or looking to get any kind of solar service, I highly recommend Independent Energy of Hawaii1

We had a great experience working with Julian and the Solartech team here on Oahu. From the start…read moreJulian didn't come across as a typical sales rep at all -- he felt more like a knowledgeable industry expert who offered thoughtful, objective opinions about different technologies and brands. Before meeting him, I spoke with two other solar companies. One rep came on extremely strong and the meeting felt very sales-driven and impersonal, which made it hard to trust the information being presented. The other rep seemed to still be in training and had to run nearly every question through a senior colleague. Working with Julian was a relief. He's clearly experienced and communicates in a smart, casual, and very approachable way. We also had a great experience with Jelly and Brandi from the Solartech administrative team--they were easy to work with and helped keep everything moving smoothly. Solartech's digital quote platform made comparing options and selecting our plan simple and easy to understand. We ultimately decided against Tesla batteries after learning about potential overheating issues, which can be a concern in a place as hot as Hawaii. We went with Enphase we're happy with our choice. The installation team was excellent as well. Nainoa, the lead electrician on our project, is a total pro--easy to talk to, great at problem-solving, and he helped us quickly figure out a battery placement challenge. He completed the electrical work in just a few hours. During the panel installation, the crew accidentally drilled through part of our roof which caused a small leak, but they responded immediately and repaired it right away. Everything was patched up and looks good as new. We really appreciated how quickly they addressed the situation. Post-purchase support has been just as strong. I had some questions about how our system was pulling power from the grid, and Julian took the time to explain everything. It turned out to be more of a settings preference than an issue. He followed up with helpful explainer videos and even called a week later to make sure everything made sense. Overall, we're very happy with the experience and appreciate the professionalism, transparency, and support from the whole Solartech team.

Solar Tech did a phenomenal job on my house and I would highly recommend their services…read more I have been in commercial construction for 20 years and have managed several large projects, so I was a tough critical with every company I interviewed. From the initial quoting process through installation, I was thoroughly impressed with their team! I got quotes from three different, highly-rated vendors... Solar Tech was not only significantly lower, they were the best value. Cisco had a great technical understanding and was a phenomenal communicator, working hard to ensure they were providing a system that best fit our needs. They provided multiple viable solutions for financing the project and did a great job working through permitting in a timely manner. Their install team, Nainoa, Nakoa, Asa, Wes, Kevin and Sean absolutely crushed it on the install. They were professional, knowledgeable and did not mess around... installing a 22 panel system with 2 Tesla Batteries in under 6 hours. I would highly recommend their services for anyone considering solar on your home.

As luck would have it, my previous updated review of Ecosolar would not be my last…read more 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.

I first saw another company mentioned on the Nextdoor app with a handful of good reviews. I reached out to them via text and they were really responsive at first. I sent photos per their request and then the communication died - they ghosted me. I figured it might just be too small of a job but hey, you should just say so. Enter Kean from KD Electric. I started to see multiple positive reviews on the Nextdoor app. He was really easy to communicate with (I used text), text me his estimated arrival time, did quick work and was friendly. I'd use him again and recommend him to others. Right before he left, he noticed another light switch of mine (not the one he worked on) wasn't sitting properly on the wall. The fact that it caught his eye told me he's likely very meticulous in his work, it's the kind of person who pays attention to detail and that you'd want working on your house. While the current work I hired him for was a small job, I'm grateful he was willing to take it and to me, that's small business as he'd be the one I'd call again or recommend to others.
