Privacy Policy
How Independent Energy Hawaii handles the information you share with us.
This policy applies to independentenergyhawaii.com and to the solar sales, installation, and service operations of Independent Energy Hawaii. It explains what we collect, why we collect it, and the choices you have.
Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly to us. This includes your name, email address, phone number, and property address when you request an estimate, book a service appointment, sign up for a SolarServe membership, submit a referral, or contact us through the website.
We also collect limited technical information automatically when you visit the site, such as your browser type, device type, referring page, and pages viewed. This information is used in aggregate to understand how the site is used and to improve it.
If you use our online estimate tool, that tool is provided by a third-party partner and may collect address and roof information in order to generate your estimate.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information you provide to respond to your inquiry, prepare estimates and proposals, schedule and perform installation or service work, administer SolarServe memberships, process referral rewards, and communicate with you about your project or system.
We may also use your contact information to send service reminders, maintenance notices, and occasional updates about products and programs relevant to Hawaii homeowners. You can opt out of non-essential communications at any time.
We use aggregated, non-identifying analytics data to improve site content and performance.
How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information.
We share information with service providers who help us operate our business, including scheduling and estimating platforms, payment processors, email and messaging providers, and hosting and analytics providers. These providers are permitted to use your information only to perform services for us.
We may share information with equipment manufacturers, financing partners, warranty administrators, or Hawaiian Electric when doing so is necessary to complete your project, submit an interconnection application, enroll you in a utility program, or process a warranty claim on your behalf.
We may disclose information when required by law, in response to valid legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Independent Energy Hawaii, our customers, or others.

Text Messaging
If you provide a mobile number, you may receive text messages related to appointment scheduling, service updates, and project coordination. Message and data rates may apply. You can stop receiving texts at any time by replying STOP.
Data Retention and Security
We retain customer records for as long as needed to service your system, honor warranty and membership obligations, and meet legal and accounting requirements.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the information we hold. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Third-Party Links
Our website links to third-party sites, including manufacturer pages, utility program pages, and review platforms. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites, and we encourage you to review their policies.
