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.

This review is overdue…read more The 5 stars is for the work that was done not the process of the companies who took over. I will be honest and it was or maybe still as the transition from SunPower to SunStrong has not been the smoothest. This transition left those of us with contracts in limbo waiting to find out who does our servicing which in the end went to Sunspear Energy. It took quite a while BUT in the end the work performed was done professionally and well. Much thanks to Zack for taking care of the initial request and getting the panels up to par. Many mahalos to Issac, Issac Jr and Isaiah for the care they took in removing and then reinstalling our panels for roof work. I can't speak for the companies BUT these guys ...Zack, Issac, Issac JR and Isaiah deserve this shout out. It was a pleasure and we were very happy with their work and professionalism. Thank you.

I had been putting off my decision to go solar for some time, but when I came across an ad from…read moreSunspear on Facebook, I couldn't resist the urge to finally make the switch! I'm extremely pleased with the level of professionalism, the quality of service, and the enthusiasm of the entire team--including Anela Havellana (Advisor), Alex Abshire (Project Manager), and David Mcelroy (Installer), along with the rest of the residential installation crew. They guided me through every step of the process, from securing loan approval to managing permits, installation, energizing, and finally getting everything set up for smart export to HECO. It was truly an incredible journey! Now that everything is up and running, I can't help but smile every time I sit back and enjoy the beautifully sleek design of the entire system. If you're still on the fence about going solar, just take the plunge! It's time to go green and help preserve our planet for future generations!
