    Terrible customer service. Unreliable. Doesn't honor warranty. Total waste of time and money. Please share this with your friends.

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.

    I chose this company based on their previous reviews, their family owned small-business model, and…read moretheir personable communication. When I first contacted them, they were very responsive, came out to our house multiple times to check it out, and even offered very reasonable and competitive pricing. Installation had a few hiccups because our house is old, weird, and probably very hard to work with, but we're very happy with our system. All the kinks that the team had to work through were fixed/solved in a very timely and quality manner. The only problem we had was getting updates between signing our agreement and installation. Understandably we waited pretty long to hear anything about installation due to the overload all solar companies were experiencing due to the federal tax credit being cut next year. Our drawings were back logged, not because of HI Power, but because of the approvals they were waiting for. But I had to reach out to multiple people at multiple times before someone could explain this to me. This really stressed us out for a bit that no one was getting back to us, but once they explained all the issues they were facing, everything worked out perfectly. I would still like to recommend this company compared to other bigger companies based off of my parent's and grandparent's experiences.

I thought it be the end of the day; however, I got a call from Judy within 30 minutes or less. She said "they will be there in 5 minutes!" I was at work and my sister was on her way home with traffic to battle with. They took care of things professionally through obstacles to get to the water heater and our dog at the back yard.

I can usually hear the heater come on but not this time. Called the company on Monday, and was told that someone would be by the same day. That's when I got educated on how the manual switch worked.
