Proudly Serving Orphaned Solar Systems from Closed Installers
What Our Repair Customers Say
Real reviews from Hawaii homeowners whose orphaned or underperforming systems we brought back to life.
Not Getting the Solar Service You Deserve?
Thousands of Hawaii homeowners invested in solar to escape sky-high electricity rates, but the company that installed their system has closed, gone bankrupt, or gone silent. Names like Sunetric, Haleakala Solar, Sunnova, SunPower, SunEdison, Mana Solar, Solarwave, 808 Solar, Sedna Aire Hawaii, PV Techs, Hawaii Solar Energy, and finance providers like Mosaic and Swell Energy have left thousands of systems orphaned across Oahu and Maui.
But it’s not just closed companies. Many active installers fail to return service calls, subcontract repairs to unqualified crews, or push upsells instead of fixing what you already own. You shouldn’t have to fight for basic service on a system you paid for.
Independent Energy Hawaii steps in where others left off, or where others simply aren’t showing up. Any brand, any age, any installer. Full in-house expertise, no subcontracting, no upsell pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the Baseline System Health Check?
Our Baseline System Health Check includes a full visual and electrical inspection of your panels, racking, wiring, inverter(s), monitoring, and roof condition. We use thermal imaging where needed, compare your production against expected output, and deliver a detailed photo report with written recommendations. The on-site visit typically takes 1-2 hours.
My original solar installer went out of business. Can you help?
Yes, absolutely. We specialize in orphaned systems from any installer, including Sunetric, SunPower, Sunnova, Haleakala Solar, Skyta Solar Roofing, Mana Solar, Solarwave, SunEdison, Sunco/Atyx Solar, 808 Solar, Sedna Aire Hawaii, PV Techs, Hawaii Solar Energy, Mosaic, and Swell Energy. We can diagnose, repair, maintain, and even help with manufacturer warranties regardless of who originally installed your system.
How do I know if my solar system is underperforming?
Compare your monitoring app data to expected production. We calculate this for you during our Health Check. Common signs include sudden drops in output, inverter error codes, higher-than-expected electric bills, or visible soiling and damage on your panels.
How often should I have my solar panels serviced in Hawaii?
We recommend professional cleaning and inspection at least once per year, ideally twice due to Hawaii’s salt air, volcanic haze (vog), and red dirt. These environmental factors can reduce panel efficiency by 15-25% if left unaddressed. SolarServe makes this automatic and affordable.
Do you service solar panels installed by other companies?
Yes, we service all brands and legacy systems across Oahu and Maui, including Enphase, SolarEdge, Tesla, SMA, SunPower, Generac, and many discontinued models. Our technicians are trained on both current and legacy equipment.
What is the SolarServe program?
SolarServe is our ongoing maintenance membership designed for existing solar owners in Hawaii. Plans start at $49.99/month and include 24/7 remote monitoring, annual cleanings, proactive troubleshooting, and discounts on repairs. Premium members get two visits per year, priority storm response, and faster dedicated support.
What if my system needs a new roof or major upgrades?
We safely remove and reinstall solar panels, coordinate directly with your roofer, and minimize system downtime. We also provide upgrade options, batteries (Tesla Powerwall), additional panels, or modern inverters, with clear ROI analysis against Hawaii’s high electricity costs so you can make informed decisions.
