I inquired with solar help Hawaii because our electrical back up component of our solar hot water heater was not working. Chaleigh responded quickly even though it was after work hours. She provided me with a troubleshooting guide and offered to walk me through it. I was not able to get to it that evening, but told her I would do it in the morning and follow up. She called the next morning to see how things were going. When I was finally able to get through the steps, TA-DA! We had hot water! So thankful for a company like this. Will definitely keep this company in mind when we do need the heater

The team of Brandon and Dillon arrived masked, were courteous, professional, safe, and took the time to explain everything they performed on our water heater tank and solar panel system. They expedited their thorough system check, replacing the corroded anode and anti-scald valve quickly so that I could make an after-school child pick-up on time. I would unhesitatingly recommend this business for their customer friendly service. Well done Solar Help!!!

Big Mahalo to Chaleigh and Paul for their kokua & support. I received an email from Enphase that they were not receiving reports on the solar panel operations for several months. On 1/23/2021, Friday, I emailed Solar Help Hawaii to asked if someone could come over to connect it to our internet. Paul responded 1/25/2021, Monday to ask me how it was connected and to send him a picture of the adaptor. My response was: we have Spectrum and we have many cabinets supporting our Solar.
Long Story short: After he quoted me what the charges could be (repair cost is labor $105 per hour plus

Love this company. Very please with the experience. John V. came to my house and talked to me about my options. I was interested in relocating the water heater, but John recommended that I do not because of the extra cost. We talked about the best placements for the pipes and the appearance of the lines. Simply, quick and to the point.
When it came time for the installation, the crew was on time and finished promptly. I was not home at the time but my spouse reported that everyone was courteous and explained the system to her. I've had experiences where my wife was talked down to by work

Wanted p.v. installed on my home in sea country (Maili) so I did my research last year (2019) around August. Decided to go with Solar help.
I wanted to own my system for reasons listed below.
1.Because of the rebate reduction in 2020
2.If selling home, buyer doesn't have to deal with the Solar company.
3. Financed loan through HSFCU.
I don't have to make any payments for 2 years.
4. You keep tax credit not the Solar company.
I use my tax credits (2 yrs) and any extra monies to lessened loan. (I save around $110 a month that goes towards paying off loan).
I'm hoping to pay off

Awesome company with responsive employees. Solar PV went out and we didn't know why. Worked with Paul and he was very patient. I was expecting an appointment later in the week as he was booked but he came to our house after his last scheduled job the day I called and worked above and beyond to find the cause of the problem. I was worried but Paul found the issue and stayed to fix it till nearly 5:30 pm. He could've easily said I'll have to come back another time but knew every day our PV was down was costing us $$. Don't hesitate to use Solar Help. You won't be disappointed

Update - solar water heater was making crazy loud noises yesterday. Called SHH to schedule an appointment and I was blown away by what happened next. Spoke to a kind gentleman on the other line (I wish I had written down his name) who proceeded to reassure me that the problem was not serious and, more importantly, he walked me through the steps to correct the problems and all was resolved. This is the third time SHH has helped us and I cannot accurately express how awesome SHH has been to me and my family. Mahalo!

Had a leaking issue with my 12 year old solar water panel and wasn't sure on what to do. Gave them a call and they explained what we needed to do to bypass the leak until they were able to come out. Technician came out to assess problem. Throughout the whole process they were extremely good at communication which I apppreciate. Would not hesitate to use them again.

After receiving help for issues right away, and a call system that actually has after hour/ weekend support I realize solarhelp is pretty awesome. I actually had the misfortune of working with revolusun, big mistake! They have no support after hours or weekends. If you have a problem Friday after 5 you're SOL and your calls just go straight to the general voicemail till Monday morning. This was not the car with solarhelp, and I now deeply regret going with revolusun for my PV as I'm having issues and have been calling and going straight to voicemail! This was in addition a to tons of

My solar water heater was leaking so i called Solar Help Hawaii that I needed a new solar water heater and needed them to check my panels first before purchase. well they sent someone and he checked my panels first and said i had about 5 years left on the panels, so I purchased a new solar water heater from them in March 2019, 5 months ago. My panels started leaking 8 days ago and had to have it capped and bought a new electric heater because I could not afford $8,000.00 for new panels and is going back to electric. i called Sloar help hawaii and asked them to buy back the solar water heater since

Purchasing a PV system is a huge expense. It's not fast and it's not cheap. So you want to make sure that you are working with a company that is going to provide you with excellent service through the entire process. From start to finish, I have been extremely pleased with the service and product that we have received from Solar Help.
We received two estimates for a PV system with battery backup. Solar Help was reasonably priced (and of course had great Yelp reviews). Panels were installed in one day and then Jaime came in to install the electric over two and a half days. That may seem

I would give more stars if possible. This is the third company that came out to repair my solar water heater system, and the first one to succeed! I have been without hot water on cloudy days for over two years now and was just about to purchase a new water heater when I decided to give it one more shot. A technician came to assess and repair in one visit for a very reasonable fee. Mind you, the other two companies had very good yelp reviews. This company is the real deal!

RECOMMENDED (definitely / yes / no)?
- YES - I definitely recommend!
CONFIDENCE (on scale of 1-10)?
- SolarHelp Hawaii is a smashing 10 out of 10!
DETAILS ON WHY/WHY NOT?
- We needed to repair or replace the Little Gray Box on our solar hot water heater, so I sent inquiries to several solar-related electric companies in the Oahu area. I asked if the companies could handle the job, and I also requested a ball-park quote. Most of the companies responded within an hour or so.

Thank you Lionel, Yukio and the installation crew. The install of my solar water system went smoothly. Lionel explained the whole system to us thoroughly and understood our needs and recommended the best system for us. They have a great finance program w/ Hawaii State FCU which made it very affordable. Totally happy with our system and highly recommend Solar Help to anyone.
Once again, Mahalo to Lionel and the crew.

Well, it happened again. I hired Solar Help Hawaii for installation of PV panels for both my house, and my mother's house.
Last year, I had chosen them to install a solar water heater. At that time, I was very pleased and had written a review.
I am SO delighted to report that once again, they exceeded my expectations.
John Vallero, the Solar Help representative who was my main contact was outstanding, and beyond compare again.
There have been many companies who have wanted to install PV on our roof. I am totally happy that I choose Solar Help Hawaii.
John Vallero is organized, efficient, and

After careful consideration and TONS of research, we decided that it was finally time to invest in photovoltaic for our home. We reached out to a number of PV companies (with MUCH more luck than the roofing companies I contacted to reroof our house- see my David's review), and received estimates from EVERYONE that I reached out to. We finally decided that Solar Help would do the work for us. We were initially a bit hesitant to go with Solar Help because they work out of a house in a residential neighborhood - no fancy office or store front. In fact, that's how we first knew about
