They no longer offer support on their PV installations. Disappointing.

We chose SolarTech about five years ago, and initially, our experience was excellent. Their local presence and expertise gave us confidence, and we trusted their recommendations when designing our system. Based on their guidance, we installed a Generac battery system. Unfortunately, we began experiencing issues with the battery shortly after installation. While SolarTech was somewhat responsive early on, we were later told they do not handle the batteries—despite originally recommending the system and presenting it as a seamless, supported solution. Over the past three years, we have made nume

Entire staff, from initial property analysis to install, Solartech WAS great...but lacking with the after-sale service support. I realize that they are not a tax service company, but I did have a couple of questions about the state/federal tax credits...no response or reply. I had questions on the hot water heater, but because they didn't 'install' it, just the panels, I didn't get any help. I had questions concerning HECO utility and after we go solar, and was told to call HECO. If you're interested in going solar, call them for inquiries on just installation, but don't expect good, if any, a

We had a great experience working with Julian and the Solartech team here on Oahu. From the start Julian didn’t come across as a typical sales rep at all — he felt more like a knowledgeable industry expert who offered thoughtful, objective opinions about different technologies and brands. Before meeting him, I spoke with two other solar companies. One rep came on extremely strong and the meeting felt very sales-driven and impersonal, which made it hard to trust the information being presented. The other rep seemed to still be in training and had to run nearly every question through a senior co

Julian is everything one would choose is the best. See my review on BBB.

Solar Tech did a phenomenal job on my house and I would highly recommend their services. I have been in commercial construction for 20 years and have managed several large projects, so I was a tough critical with every company I interviewed. From the initial quoting process through installation, I was thoroughly impressed with their team! I got quotes from three different, highly-rated vendors… Solar Tech was not only significantly lower, they were the best value. Cisco had a great technical understanding and was a phenomenal communicator, working hard to ensure they were providing a system th

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.
Warranty
“everything from system upgrades, warranty services, and monitoring, to full…”
Established
“solar and storage installations since 2012 Design Create a solar and storage…”
Elsewhere
- It is also reviewed on Yelp and the Better Business Bureau. 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 Facebook and Instagram. 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.
