UPDATE...SolarTech installed our system a little over a year ago. We recently developed a small leak in a pipe that may or may not be related to their installation. Either way Mike was great to want to rectify it and sent his team out first thing the next morning to take care of it. They were quick and thorough. This is a real professional organization and highly recommend them for your solar work.

Thank you Mike for the fine work! It has been several months now and my HECO bill is now $26.50 per month instead of hundreds. Your crew was great, the job was done well, and I couldn't be happier with the savings I am getting on my electric bill.

I initially gave Solar Tech a one star, upon which I got a call back and Mike apologized and gave me different options which was real helpful. I'm still deciding and had to put this on hold for awhile. If I do decide to install battery to my home, I will contact Mike is Solar Tech.

Following my prior review, I received a DM from Mike trying to figure out where the lapse in communication happened. I went into their spam folder and they will hopefully make sure other emails to the generic support email don't do the same. He was very helpful, responsive and was able to provide me a thorough quote fairly quickly (I've been waiting I another company for 2 weeks). They are very competitive and we may end up going with them so I'm happy we were able to connect in the end. I will update if we choose them to provide solar installation services.

Spoke to Kirby a few times about installing a solar water heater and he is very knowledgeable. Customer service is very important to him and he was willing to spend the time to explain the entire process and address my concerns. Will update the review again after the work is completed.

Professional from start to finish. Shoutout to Kirby, "you're the man"! Raise your hand if the company you had previously install your solar is now out of business. Stuff happens, so started calling for estimates and suggestions as to what our current needs are. Our household has diminished in size from seven to four people so what we originally had is now overkill for water heating needs. Not sure we're interested in having excess electricity being generated, maybe storage maybe not. What are our options?

We have been looking to install a PV system for a while and did our fair share of consultations and received numerous estimates from various companies. Although many of them offered great products and communicated well, SolarTech took the top spot by far. Mike and his team provided clear explanations of the PV system they were recommending and at no point seemed to try to over sell us on something we did not want. Throughout the process Mike made sure we understood exactly what we were getting and made sure to configure the system based on our requested needs. We were also extremely happy with
