Step 1: Free Solar Consultation
Every home and business is unique, so we start by talking with you about your energy needs and goals. We will review your historical electrical usage patterns and visit your site to evaluate your roof structure, solar exposure, and electric service panel. We will provide an initial project estimate to show you how generating your own solar power can reduce  your energy costs.   All of this is provided free of charge.

Step 2: Proposal
Energy Systems Hawaii will prepare a full financial analysis of your solar project, including annual cost savings, payback calculations and cash flow analysis. We will identify the government rebates, tax credits and depreciation that can dramatically improve your return on investment. Many businesses choose our Energy Systems Hawaii Power Purchase Agreement, which requires no capital investment; you pay only for the solar electricity you generate each month. The proposal includes an initial design mock-up to show you how the solar array will look on your site. The proposal is also provided free of charge.

Step 3: System Design
Once you have chosen Energy Systems Hawaii, we get right to work on the final system design.  Our  team will custom design your solar power system based on your home or building’s architecture and your electrical needs. Energy Systems Hawaii works with the best solar panel manufacturers with the latest technology to design high performance solar systems.

Step 4: Installation
Energy Systems Hawaii’s professional installation teams have extensive experience and will build your system to our high standards. Residential installation times range from 3 days to a week for very large/custom systems.  Commercial installation times range from 1 to 4 weeks depending on system size and complexity. We will work closely with you to ensure minimal disruption to your family or business. Our project managers oversee all the building permits, inspections and connection to the utility grid.

Step 5: Ongoing System Monitoring
Energy Systems Hawaii continuously monitors your system performance with software from our office to ensure that it is running smoothly. You can also access your system production at anytime through this same user-friendly software.
