Save with the HECO Battery Bonus Program: 

More reasons why the best solution for your home is a Solar plus Battery system.

Hawaiian Electric (HECO) has exciting news for customers in Oahu: receive a cash incentive to add energy storage to a new or existing rooftop solar system. This program was created to help Hawaii move towards its goal of 100% clean energy by 2045. 

Incentives include:

• A one-time check up to $850 per kilowatt (kW) committed for those accepted for the first 15 megawatts (MW) on Oahu. $750 per kW for the next 15 MW and $500 per kW for the last 20 MW.
• A monthly capacity bill credit at $5 per kW per month of committed capacity for 10 years.
• A monthly energy bill credit non-Net Energy Metering (NEM) program customers for three years.

Hawaiian Electric is looking to reduce power on the grid during peak demand periods, and these cash incentives provide an easy way for you and the company to save money, reduce pollution, and ensure all Hawaii residents have access to the electricity we need – it’s a true win-win for all! 

How the Hawaiian Electric Battery Bonus Program works

The program allows for homeowners with existing Solar systems installed after July 1, 2021

and new Solar systems to add energy storage to participate. Those who sign up are asked to deliver a committed capacity every day for 10 years for two hours during peak electric times between 6 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. Even with these requirements, the incentives are enough to pay for the cost of owning the battery, and customers can commit any amount of kW that their battery can handle (your incentive money is based on how many kW you can commit to). 

SunPower Eco Solar Hawaii explains Battery Bonus benefits for existing and new customers

“After we help homeowners go solar, we find that their daily habits change. They start to use more electricity. Maybe they’ve added air conditioning, or have additional family members in their home, or purchased a new electric car. Until recently, homeowners were prohibited from adding on to their solar system.

HECO’s Battery Bonus Program is really exciting because we can get the customer back to zero with their bills! These incentives mean the system pays for itself in half the time.” says Ben Parish, President/Owner of SunPower by Eco Solar Hawaii. 

How to get your Oahu Battery Bonus

If you’re ready to add onto your solar investment and save even more while protecting our planet, work with SunPower by Eco Solar to install or upgrade your solar system. Your Contractor Partner will apply for your permits, install and configure the battery. They’ll need to show that your building panels were submitted to lock in your payment. Your Eco Solar system designer can also advise you on the capacity level that makes sense for your battery to maintain throughout the program. You’ll also need to fill out and submit a W-9 form, since these upfront incentive payments do count as income and HECO will report information about them to the IRS. 

Once your system is up and running, we will need to supply seven days’ worth of operational data to HECO. Once it’s approved, you can expect your incentive within thirty days!  

Parish is excited about the program and its financial and climate benefits for Oahu customers. “It’s really a win-win for all – especially for existing Solar customers and homeowners that want to go Solar. The best energy saving solution is a Solar plus Battery system and these incentives make it easy to save and see your return on your investment even faster!”

Get your Oahu Battery Bonus Now

Don’t delay on getting this great deal for yourself – The battery bonus will only be available for a limited time – until the total enrolled capacity reaches 50 megawatts, or until June 20, 2023.

Don Roberts
Michael from Eco Solar was very knowledgeable about everything solar as he has been working in the solar industry for his entire adult life… I highly recommend Eco Solar!

Keith M.
Wahiawa, HI
I’ve known Mike for a while now but being the great guy he is, he never tried to push his company on me or ever talked to me about work at all for that matter, proving that Mike values relationships far more than just trying to make a sale… So impressed with this company, the product, Mike, and his crew. If you are on the fence about solar, even if you’re just checking things out, I highly recommend contacting Mike and allowing him the chance to answer your questions.

Juanita W.
Honolulu, HI
Awesome team! Mike was so patient and easy to work with. They were professional and proficient. I highly recommend this company.

Michael Derian
Put in a request online to be contacted by a SunPower dealer to discuss the product and numbers. Mike from Eco Solar contacted me the following day to set an appointment. Very knowledgeable and not pushy. Didn’t feel like a used car salesman trying to pressure me. Both him and Chris, the installer, were always very quick to answer texts/emails/phone calls. Great experience all round and enjoying my new solar system!

Brittany L.
Downtown, Honolulu, HI
…The decision to commit to SunPower was easy after Mike French (sales) walked us through the process and answered all of our questions. After work was completed a few days ago we are 100% satisfied with our decision to work with SunPower and fully endorse their product.
Estimate/Sales: Mike French delivered on time and on budget. He has always been responsive and available to answer all questions from start to end. He was “no pressure” and we could tell he has experience in the solar industry.

I was so happy to find Mike at SunPower! He was very informative and very responsive. He made both me and my husband super comfortable with our solar decision. The best thing about Mike is that his team installs the solar and that same day your solar is turned on. He also acquires all the permits. He was able to come by the day our solar was installed to walk us through our Tesla app. He showed us how everything worked. His team did an excellent job with the install. Communication was great every step of the way. We couldn’t be happier that we went with Mike and his team. Additionally, we got the upgraded all black solar panels at no additional charge. Mike has great customer service, you will not be disappointed. He wants you to be happy and truly cares about the service that is provided. Mahalo again Mike and the SunPower Solar team! Best on the island for sure!!!

….

My salesperson was Mike French. Mike is a very likable guy and not in any way going to pressure you to sign a contract with them. I wish I could say the same for some of Eco Solar’s competition… Mike has confidence in his brand, the quality of the installation, and the reputation of Eco Solar so he doesn’t have to pressure you to get business. Mike had some of the coolest information to share with me illustrating how advanced SunPower was over others…

Melanie A.
Ewa Beach, HI
I don’t normally write reviews but was super impressed with my experience with Mike French and SunPower by EcoSolar.  From start to finish, Mike was there to answer questions we had, even answering them more than once! …I only wish that I did it sooner.
Thanks, Mike!  We truly appreciate your professionalism and patience!

Geri B.
Honolulu, HI
It started with a simple meeting with Michael French, from that we knew we had to go with them. Mike was professional, polite, patient, and made it easy to understand the details. On installation day, the excellent service continued… Really cannot get any better – highly recommend Eco Solar…

J M.
Honolulu, HI
SunPower by Eco Solar is a locally-owned top-tier company. Mike, Chris and the whole team have been a pleasure to work with… Mike was super thorough with [explaining] how everything – top to bottom of the whole process and install – would go. Mike shared critical information [that helped] my decision to go with SunPower! It’s 2021 SunPower by Eco Solar is still going strong and any support I need they have been so reliable. Highly recommend Eco Solar and Mike.

Thomas M.
Honolulu, HI
Wanted to thank Mike French and the whole team of Eco Solar for the excellent service. I researched about a dozen companies before I picked this company and I’m glad and fortunate I did. First off, Mike provided a detailed explanation of solar, inverters, and batteries, and how they stand apart from the other products…. I also trust Mike as he is basically a genius (though super humble in his achievements, you will need to ask him yourself) and has been working [in the] solar industry since high school… 

So stop looking at other solar companies and call them!

UPDATE!!!

Got my electric bill so here is the proof. From a near $400 dollars electrical bill to $23. Thank you Mike and everyone from Eco Solar.

Meet Matt Householder, Solar Designer at SunPower by Eco Solar!

Over the past 9 years Matt has had the privilege of helping over 500 local families make the move to solar. With a dual background in real estate sales, he understands the value a PV system adds to both your current electricity needs and the future marketability of your home.  

We appreciate you, Matt! Thanks for all of your contributions to our team and for helping our community Go Solar! 

Here’s what customers over the years have shared about Matt: 

MC
SunPower by Eco Solar exceeded our expectations and was the most professional. We opted for 30 panels and 2 Tesla batteries. Matt Householder was responsive, honest, informative, knowledgeable and did not pressure us at any time… All company personnel that we interacted with – Matt, Coleen, Ben, Chris and Andrea provided excellent customer service and were efficient. If you’re in the market for a Solar PV System with batteries, SunPower by Eco Solar is the absolute best.

Karen Y.
Matt was the first person who came over to the house & explained their products and answered all our questions. From start to finish Matt was professional, honest and very reliable. I never felt like I was bothering him, he always made time to answer my questions and make sure that I knew what I was getting into. After the PV installation was completed, he was still available to make sure everything was working properly & that I understood how to use the app. Thank you very much Matt for making this a stress free experience for us!!! When Ben & the crew came over to do the PV installation, I was also impressed with how they made it aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Prior to starting the job they explained what they were going to do & after they completed the job explained what everything was & how to use the app. I really appreciated their hard work & how they took pride in their jobs & did it well!! I have to also thank Chris for monitoring the PV system after the installation to make sure that everything was working well. He was very patient & responsive to my calls!! Thank you so much Eco Solar for your professional work in installing our PV system!

CL, Kailua, HI
I cannot write this review without giving kudos to Eco Solar’s people.  MATT HOUSEHOLDER provided us with several different system options and their pros and cons, was very knowledgeable, was easy to reach via phone, text and email, at no time did he pressure us, he was honest about the possible timeframe we were looking at for the meter replacement, and he discussed the total cost of the system instead of just discussing the “net cost,” which was important for us to understand. Operations Supervisor, Coleen Murphy stayed on top of all the paperwork throughout the process and stayed in contact with us all the time.  Ben, who conducted our site inspection and was present for our installation was very informative and Chris immediately reached out to us as soon as he heard from HECO on a coordinated installation date. Eco Solar’s personnel are the best!

If you’re looking for a reputable and superior Solar PV Company, this is it.

Wade K., Honolulu HI
We’ve been waiting to install solar for a while now and met Matt from Eco Solar at one of the BIA home shows. The efficiency of SunPower panels and Tesla batteries made Eco Solar the obvious choice. Matt came out to our house on a holiday to go over the system and within a month we were done! 30 panels and 2 Tesla batteries were installed by Ben (who I later found out is the owner of the company!) and his team in about 1 1/2 days and we were up and running. Follow up with Matt and Chris helped us work through some initial hiccups with the system and it is working great right now. Most days when it’s not overcast we are essentially self powered. The installation team was professional and fast, they took some drone footage of the install which looked great! I highly recommend Eco Solar for their speed, efficiency, customer service and professionalism . . . And of course their product is excellent!

Brian T.
SunPower by Eco Solar is an excellent company. Matt and Chris are very informative, responsive, and professional. The installation crew were efficient, did a great job, and cleaned up afterward. The system works great. I highly recommend this company.

Ismael E, Kapolei, HI
I wanted the best solar panels and best company for my house. I have been scouring the market for Photovoltaic systems for nearly 2 years now. I have spoken and met with several Photovoltaic or Solar companies on the island. I have also compiled and researched the different panels that are available in the market. With my research I found out that Sunpower Solar Panels are the best and most efficient solar panels that are available for residential and commercial applications. So I looked for the authorized dealer or company for sunpower solar panels that is local. There is only one Sunpower Master Dealer in Hawaii, it’s ECO SOLAR. On the day that I called ECO SOLAR, Matt, their solar designer called me right away and an appointment was set. The presentation that Matt gave was very professional. He even brought samples of conventional solar cells and the SunPower solar cell for comparison. Right there and then I already made up my mind to go with ECOSOLAR. The proposal alone is the best compared to all the companies I had spoken with. 

Then came the actual inspection of the roof of the house and to my amazement the owner Ben was the one who came to inspect the roof. It only confirms the ECO SOLAR’s commitment to its customers. Ben explained everything to me and was very receptive to what I wanted to do. As soon as we decided to go with the design and size of the PV system, everything was spot on. From obtaining necessary Homeowners and building permits to financing, it was stress free because Matt and other ECO SOLAR staff assisted me all the way. 

Then came the installation. It took two days and it was prompt and on schedule. Matt and Ben were there making sure the install was running smoothly. They showed great respect to my property. The installers were diligent in their work, knowledgeable and professional. After it was installed Ben gave me a rundown of all the things that went on, on the installation, how it works including how to operate the hardware.It was a very pleasant experience. I highly recommend ECO SOLAR to everybody!

Thank you to Kirby and the SunPower by Eco Solar team for our amazing solar system. We were totally impressed with the amount of information shared, professionalism, efficiency and willingness to explain all the details to us. We would certainly recommend your company to anyone looking to get solar.

David O.

If you are in the market to install solar, look no further. SunPower by Eco Solar completed an 11 panel and one Tesla power wall (battery) installation flawlessly. They completed the install in less time than anticipated and for less than several other companies we were quoted. Make sure to ask for Kirby, he was our sales/design rep and he is super friendly and knowledgeable. Anytime I had questions/concerns about the system or process he got back to me in a timely manner. He never tried to upsell or pressure us in any way, he designed our system to meet our current consumption needs. He also broke down tax incentives and financing options. It’s only been a week since install but our system has been running cherry and outputting more than anticipated!! A+ experience from start to finish. Mahaloz Kirby and SunPower team for making this a great experience. I highly recommend it!

K.D., Honolulu HI

Highly recommend Eco Solar: I’ve chosen Eco Solar because of the positive Yelp reviews…My salesman Kirby was so knowledgeable about the system I purchased and was able to help me understand how it worked… Kirby also shared information regarding places that offered financing options.  Kirby always made himself available to answer all my questions which I found so rewarding having amazing customer service/ support. 

Lisa N., Miliani HI

This our second time using Eco Solar. We installed some panels about 8 years ago and it has been working great. We just put in more panels through the Battery Bonus Program.

Kirby responded quickly, came out to look at our place and explained things thoroughly. He kept in touch to let us know how things were progressing.

Eco Solar took care of all the permits, making it much easier for us.  Installation was quick and the entire crew was knowledgeable, friendly and polite. They were done in a few hours and explained things to us before they left.

Kirby followed up a few days later and was really good about returning calls or texts. So far everything is working great!

John I, Honolulu HI

We were shopping around for a good and affordable solar system for the house and was recommended by a good friend to call Eco Solar. We wanted to compare prices just so we know we got the best bang for the buck. Kirby is the man! Response time is flawless. He is very knowledgeable and not the typical sweet talker just to get the sale. He will give you straight facts! From start to finish: Design team and install team were super quick!!! They were highly recommended and I definitely would too!

Kathy A., Aiea HI

Yep, it was time to step up to a Photovoltaic system for our house in Halawa Heights. We had already replaced the Solar panels for the hot water and Kirby said when we were ready to go total PV to let him know….Hi Kirby, we’re ready!

As you can see from the attached photos they did a great job and we’re now the proud owners of a new PV system.

This company was professional from start to finish. The installers were polite, fairly quiet and cleaned away all the rubbish. Highly recommend you give them a call if you’re even thinking about it. Kirby will give you everything you need to help you.

Their work was high quality and clean. The SunPower panels and Tesla battery not only look good but are the best on the market. The end user Tesla app is amazing how it provides you with real time and historical information regarding power generated, energy used, battery status, power sent back to the grid, etc. I nerd out on it all day long. All in all, I was extremely happy I went with these guys. Very informative, great communication, went out of their way to work with us and meet our needs! I highly recommend!!

• Reducing our waste
• Conserving energy
• Making sustainable choices

Every small act of kindness towards the environment adds up over time and can make a significant impact.

Tips for Conserving Energy

Have you gone solar and wondered if you can do more to conserve energy? The answer is Yes – so much more!

• Try switching to LED light bulbs to reduce your energy usage. Solar power and LED lighting are a perfect combination!
• Make sure to unplug appliances when they’re not in use to eliminate “vampire” energy consumption
• Adjust your thermostat so that it’s a few degrees lower in the winter and a few degrees higher in the summer
• Try air-drying your clothes instead of using the dryer 

With these simple tips, you’ll be well on your way to a more efficient and eco-friendly lifestyle!

Making Sustainable Choices at Home and in our Community

What’s the best way to start conversations with friends and family about solar energy? Here are a few tips that may make referring others a little easier.

 

Share the Benefits of Your Solar System

• Pull out your phone to highlight your Energy Value in the Tesla App (An estimate of the money you didn’t have to pay your utility).
