    Aloha Kauai, I want to review my project with Solar Kauai. The process of my requirements review, options review, system selection, construction, and completion was excellent! I researched Elliot's recommended system and that system was rated one, two, or three by expert reviewers. The construction crew was diligent, personable, and their workmanship was excellent. The updated system is performing very well and it exceeds my expectations. Solar Kauai is a great local family business and I strongly recommend Solar Kauai for your Solar needs.

    I am extremely grateful to Solar Kauai for the excellent work performed. We have just added a solar water heater as well as more solar panels to meet the needs of our increased consumption. Elliot has been phenomenal - part of a family business that really takes care of their clients. Everything that was promised was completed in a very timely manner, and all with an attitude that makes you feel truly taken care of. I highly recommend this company for your solar needs.

    Elliot and his team have been refreshing to work with. Extremely responsive and professional. So happy with the end results of our solar system that was installed. Our electric bill has been dropped by 75%. Couldn’t have asked for better service and quality. Highly recommend!!

Topics Google derives from the review text, with how often each appears. A frequent topic is not a good one: “price” turns up in praise and in complaints alike.

What the company says about itself

Taken from its own website. We have not checked any of it, and a sentence on a website is not evidence.

  • Years in business

    “including Molokai, Lanai, and Niihau. Over 40 years later Solar Kauai is still a family…”
  • Licensed

    “in 1999. Solar Kauai, established and licensed in Hawaii in 1982, has installed over…”

Its website also mentions established and licence number, but not in a sentence we can quote cleanly.

Elsewhere

  • Google also lists this company under windows.
  • It is also reviewed on Yelp. Worth reading before you sign anything: those are a different crowd, and the complaints that reach the Better Business Bureau rarely reach Google.
  • It posts on Instagram and Facebook. A page that stopped posting years ago tells you something a listing will not.

Ordered by how much we can tell you about each, which is not an order of quality. We do not know which of these is better and would not say if we did.

What we don't know

  • The date above is the newest review we hold, which is not necessarily the newest that exists — we hold a large share of Google's reviews, not all of them.
  • We do not verify licences, insurance or bonding. Nothing here has been checked against a state licensing board.
  • We cannot tell you what an installation costs, and we hold nothing about the equipment they fit.
