OUR SERVICE

HOW ARE WE DIFFERENT?

Not all Hawaii solar companies are created equal – when deciding which solar company to work with, you need to make sure you are working with the best of the best and protecting your investment.

We’ve earned a reputation in Hawaii for installing and maintaining quality solar systems and being transparent through the entire process– but that’s not all. We do the little things that help us stand out from the other options you have for solar panels in Hawaii.

Whether you’re looking for a home solar installation or commercial solar panels, we’re among the top solar companies in Hawaii in both categories.

If you’re looking to increase the value of your home and harness the power of the sun to pay your energy bill, we can help you with that.

If you have a large commercial building with high electricity demands – what are you wasting all that space on your roof for?! Let’s get solar panels installed and help you achieve a quick ROI.

We’ve spent over two decades perfecting our craft and constantly evolving to offer a better and better installation service. No matter what type of Hawaii solar panel job you need help with, we can handle it – and exceed your expectations by the time the job is done.

While we’ve come to be regarded as the top solar company in Hawaii from an installation standpoint, that’s just part of what we do.

You’ll also need routine maintenance on your panels to keep them running efficiently for the long haul – and ensure you get the full ROI you’re expecting.

If you’ve got an old solar panel system that needs to be removed, we can handle that, too – even if you aren’t planning on installing a new one through us. Just reach out for a quote!

Solar is a huge investment – but very few people who come to us for their Hawaii solar panel job have the cash up front. It’s far more likely you’ll need to take out a loan to finance the project. As you’ll unfortunately come to see, some of the terms you’ll be offered at independent 3rd party lenders are egregious.

We can help you get the ball rolling with in-house financing, so you can enjoy ultra-low interest rates compared to what you may be offered at the bank. Just another reason we’ve come to be known as the best solar company in Hawaii!

“Desta, Adam, Mike, Garrison and the rest of the Independent Energy Team are amazing. They were knowledgeable, responsive and helpful throughout our whole solar process. When issues came up (as they always do with projects), they went the extra mile to make sure everything worked properly.
Our panels and battery were installed on time as promised and are working great – just got our first ever $26 HECO bill!
This company cares about helping people and doing quality work, which is very rare these days. Hands down the best experience I’ve had with a company for home improvement/renovations. Highly recommend!”

“Easily the most professional crew I ever had the pleasure of doing business with, and I never felt alone or in the dark thanks to Desta. He helped me with all my questions and I loved the fact that he was just a phone call away. Dedication to something like that is just hard to find nowadays. This company was a breath of fresh air for me and I wish I could do such an awesome crew justice with such a simple review. 10/10″

Status: The program is capped at 50 megawatts (MW), as of right now we are at 6.2 MW.

  • Currently customers who are accepted into the program will receive $850 per kilowatt (kW).
  • After the first 15 MW is filled, the next 15 MW of committed capacity will receive $750 per kW.
  • After the next 15 MW is used the last 20 MW of committed capacity will receive $500 per kW.

Customers that are not currently enrolled in the company’s Net Energy Metering (NEM) Program will receive a fixed monthly bill credit for energy exported to the grid for three years. The credit is an amount equivalent to the respective retail rate for electricity exported during the two-hour period. After these three years are completed any underlying interconnection tariff export rates, if any, will apply.

Customers who wish to participate with an existing solar system and are presently enrolled in a customer energy program (such as Net Energy Metering, and Grid Supply or others) will continue to receive full benefits from these programs. Up to 5 kW of new panels may be added under existing programs. There is no limit on the size of an individual customer’s battery.

If you would like to add more than 5 kW of additional capacity of PV, it is possible as long as you still adhere to a 2:1 PV to battery output ratio. These apply to any interconnection tariff customers!
