Electrical reviews in Honolulu, Hawaii

Dan and Pat were my technicians that came to my house to troubleshoot my solar inverter and they were awesome. They were on time, professional, and respectful. They knew exactly what the problem was and worked with the manufacturers to help me get a new inverter. I want these gentleman to come and install my inverter when it comes in. Also, because of them and Nikaa, I will refer Pacific Panel Cleaners to everyone. This is the #1 company you want to service your solar system.

From the company website to my first contact on the phone, PPC is ready and happy to help. Professional staff and Maui manager Ryan himself a real pro. He informed me of problems they found in the cleaning/inspection process explaining things well and answering my questions. He promised a written report with photos and delivered quickly, with a list of recommendations and plans to remedy. I am pleased to be on their maintenance program which gives me a secure feeling. Having had solar water since 1981 and PV since 2012 I've never experienced such excellent service.

Pacific Panel Cleaners has been my cleaning my panels since 2020 and every year, they have always done an outstanding job! They are truly dependable and I would recommend them to anyone that I know! Mahalo Pacific Panel Cleaners for always maintaining my panels in perfect condition!!!

This is the second time I've used PPC to clean my solar panels and Solar water heater panel. I had utilized their services over 3 years ago and had been negligent in following up for subsequent cleaning. I recently signed a 5 year contract for annual cleaning. Neeka was great to work with as was Doug who did the actual cleaning. I like the fact that as part of my contract they would act as liason's of sort with my solar contractor in case of any issues. Solar contractors are notorious for not responding after installation.
After the panels were cleaned, Doug reviewed the work with me and answered some questions i had. I later received a detailed written report with photos of the work performed and on the condition of my panels ( lots of bee pollen( shit) as well as the condition of my PV system. Satisfied Customer!

They installed our solar bird fencing. Did an amazing job. Looking forward to having them clean our panels yearly. Mahalo

I highly recommend this company. They do great work and workers are always on time, friendly and respectful. They've cleaned my solar panels for 7 straight years.

Aside from cleaning the solar panels, they inspect my utility meter, breakers, micro inverters, modules, clamps/bolts, wires, mounting hardware, flashings, roof penetrations, junction box and conduits.

They meet with me before they start work and when they're done to go over what they did and if there's anything I should be concerned about. When they email me the invoice, they include an inspection report (about 10 pages) with details and photos of everything described above. They even monitor my system remotely and lmk when there's something wrong. When a micro inverter went bad, they worked with Enphase to provide a new one under warranty and only charged me for installation.

This company is awesome and one of a kind. You rarely find companies like Pacific Panel Cleaners. I don't think any other solar panel cleaning company in Hawaii can match their service and price. Give them a call and see for yourself. This is one of the few companies I can refer to my family and friends with the utmost confidence.

Dale and his team have always provided top notch installations. His attention to detail is unmatched. Always communicating to ensure the project is delivered as promised

If you need security work, Access Hardware Inc. will deliver. Installers are knowledgeable, quick and the craftmanship is unmatched. For all your custom needs, give them a call!

Access Hardware did almost all of my most critical security infrastructure work for many years, they were my favorite company to work with. Dale and his team have an incredible amount of experience and knowledge, especially when it comes to electronic door hardware.

Access Hardware was critical in addressing our physical security. We updated our core and key system that was antiquated. During the project, Access Hardware brought to our attention fire egress hardware issues and provided the experience and service bringing our asset into fire compliance. Finally, Access Hardware assessed our future access control upgrade project where we upgraded our electrical panel. AH communicated well throughout the project and I enjoyed working with them.

Recommend by mom. My mom was right that Mr. Koo does good quality work. I would trust him for future projects.

The lady who answered the phone to update me with the 1083 mikole st address was very nice

Great customer service! They send out people right away when my clients need electricians. They do great work, for a great price and right away!

Malama Solar is a company. Karson and the team kept me up to date every step of the way. From financing, electrical/HECO upgrades and installation.

Sam our consultant was friendly and helpful throughout the entire process from getting signed up to checking in on the day of the install. The initial site visit technician was very helpful and friendly and explained the plan before it was emailed to me. The installation crew were also very friendly and respectful. They arrived promptly at 8am set up and got right to work. I was so impressed with how much they achieved in one day. Overall I am so thrilled I went with Malama solar and can’t wait to get it up and running.

Great experience with Malama Solar. I emailed approximately 10 companies requesting a quote. Malama was one of the only two companies that responded, the other merely sent a brochure with info available from their website. Malama responded within 24 hours and set up a meeting/site survey with their rep. They kept me informed every step of the process. Their team was very professional.

Joshua was very friendly and helpful. He was also a lot more transparent and honest than the other solar reps from other companies that I spoke with and that's why I went with Malama, I feel like they are trustworthy. The install crew was awesome too. They kept the place clean and worked quick, even in the rain. If you're thinking about getting solar, I would recommend that you consider Malama.

Feb 22, 2025 Update: system is still broken. BEWARE OF MALAMA SOLAR! The owner, Chris Ah Sue, is the new Mike Miske of Oahu. Do not be deceived by Malama Solar. Malama solar will install faulty parts, punch hole through your roof for non-functioning solar panels, ignore all of your calls, and take your money. They are FRAUDSTERS! There are so many other options for home solar on the islands, do NOT use Malama Solar, no matter how slick they may seem in their sales pitch. They have made no attempts at repair of my broken system. They take no responsibility for their horrible service. I would give 0 stars if that were an option.

Nov 18, 2025 Update: my system is still broken. HECO bills have only gone way up since we had panels and generac batteries installed in 2021. Not built to last. I called Malama Solar earlier today and they said they were sure they can help me. I hope this is true!

October 6, 2023 Update-- my system is still completely broken, it works only some of the time. It is clear that I was sold lemon products by Malama solar. Very hard to communicate with them. Currently speaking with attorneys and the Better Business Bureau who will have to step in to help.

Beware of Malama Solar, they are a complete scam!! They lure you in to a "0% interest, $0 money down" loan that is ultimately extremely expensive, only you install complete junk equipment on your roof and home that barely if ever works. I had PV panels and 2 Generac batteries installed in December 2021, and the solar panels And batteries have not worked for at least half the time since they have been installed. My monthly energy bill has nearly TRIPLED since i bought Malama solar panels And batteries. Because I'm paying my full heco bill most months (since the panels And batteries usually do not work at all and getting them serviced is impossible) PLUS the bill for the predatory loan they hook you with.
I am not sure where these positive reviews are coming from, as my choice to go with Malama has been a complete nightmare. The strong impression i have of Malama Solar is that they do not stand by their work, they do not help when the panels and/or generac batteries break down-- Malama Solar simply wants to take your money and then wash their hands clean of any responsibility after installing a complete lemon.

When you try to get them to come service it takes at least a month to even schedule a service appointment. You have to call the bank Sunnova and speak to someone who is completely clueless at a call center, then call Malama then call sunnova again, and then **maybe** you might be so lucky to get a service appointment on the junk, broken down solar equipment they installed in the first place. Malama solar is a complete SCAM.
So what you're left with is a HECO bill that is the same as it was prior to installing solar PLUS a humongous solar bill from Sunnova. Paying double to triple monthly for a completely broke system.
I have hired an attorney to help rectify this situation, since malama will not deal with you once they've scammed your money from you.

7.24.2025 - Due to unforeseen circumstances the battery on my solar system malfunctioned but Malama took care of the issue. Today, Gabe and Shelton came by to install the new battery which was done in an hour. They were even able to test it and we didn’t even notice it! Mad props to these two humble, knowledgeable and quick! Malama Solar is very lucky to have these two as part of the team! Mahalo Gabe and Shelton!

We qualified and got approved for Solar beginning July 2022 and the reality of Solar is upcoming and set for installation tomorrow! I can’t believe how quick they were to get all the approvals! Thanks to Brandon and the Malama Solar team! You guys made the dream of having Solar come true! So excited!
