Solar panels and batteries

Dear Sean Grady and Pacific Energy Team, I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude and appreciation for the outstanding service you provided during the recent installation of my solar panel system and batteries. From the very beginning, Sean demonstrated remarkable professionalism, expertise, and dedication. You took the time to thoroughly explain the process, answer all my questions, and customize a solution that perfectly fit my home’s energy needs. Your attention to detail and clear communication throughout the sales process made me feel confident and well-informed every step of the way. The installation team was equally impressive. Their efficiency, technical skill, and commitment to quality were evident from the moment they arrived. They ensured that the installation was smooth, timely, and minimally disruptive to my household. I was especially pleased with how clean and organized they left the worksite afterward. The seamless coordination between the sales, installation, and support teams made this entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. I am thrilled with the performance of the solar panels and battery system so far, and I have no doubt this investment will provide long-term benefits. Thank you, Sean and the entire team at Pacific Energy, for delivering such exceptional service and a product I can truly rely on. I highly recommend your company to anyone looking for top-tier solar energy solutions. Warm regards, Juan Carlos Herrera M.D.

Home Solar

The saying "say what you do and do what you say" is the standard employed by Pacific Energy. Every single step of adding solar to our home in Kapalua from the first phone call to to schedule an estimate to the final installation approval has been exactly as described by Pacific. Rarely will you find a more professional and efficient service provider for any project at your home or facility.

Steve & Ohua M | Makawao, HI | 03/31/2024

Exceptional Service from beginning to installation

Working with Sean Grady and the Pacific Energy company has been the best way to add our Tesla battery and extra solar panels. We almost went with a nationwide company, but after meeting with Sean, we decided to stay local. We are extremely satisfied we did. The service from the beginning has been smooth, efficient and quick. Adan and his installation team were excellent and the electrician who came to hook up our system was helpful and very knowledgeable. We appreciate this company and recommend if you need a reliable and immediate service, go with Pacific Energy and Sean Grady. They will not disappoint you.

Steve | Kihei, HI | 02/05/2024

Really great experience!!

We decided we needed a new roof and we had a 15 year old PV system that was too small for our growing needs. We asked around our area and Pacific Energy was highly recommended. After getting a few quotes for the PV system we decided that they were our choice. Sean Grady came out and got us started. The project was very smooth. The crews were quick, tidy and knowledgeable. Communication and responsiveness were excellent. We highly recommend Pacific Energy.

Ron Tosh | Makawao, HI | 12/18/2023

Excellent service and products

After searching around different companies for our solar project we were recommended to contact Sean for a quote, really glad we did were were thinking of going with a larger nationwide company and Sean showed us the many unfavorable reviews that company had and saved us a potential decade or more of headaches! The whole team was easy to work with, the installation was completed quickly and the company is locally owned and operated right here on Maui so we know who to turn to for help when we need it! Give these guys a call if you are in the market for a solar system!

Very Best Professionals, best components and price

I asked two top tier general contractors from different sides of the island "Who's the best Photovotaic System Company?". I got two names: Daryl Hansen, and Sean Grady. Turns out they are both part of the Pacific Energy company. After checking another company we selected Pacific Energy and are completely satisfied. Daryl Hansen, Sean Grady and the rest of the personable and responsive team installed a great system and batteries for our house and cottage. We are off the grid most of the time. What a great feeling! Start to finish they are right on top of everything and had us all set up and running in a very timely manner. Interactions from the owner, system designer Sean and the office as well as the install crew and electrician were fantastic. The office set us up with contact numbers for the installers and electricians and they were available and on time with all the installations. They are all happy hardworking helpful excited people. The owners and crew are long standing Maui residents, from a well liked and respected ohana, and will be here for the long run. Greg Bayless Maui Meadows

After getting increasingly higher power bills we decided to get solar for our home, our friends recommended that we contact Sean, he came out to the house the next day and looked over the entire project we ended up getting 18 panels and a Tesla Powerwall! The process was fast and easy; the entire staff was really on top of everything throughout the entire process! Very Positive Experience!

WynneFamily | Kihei, HI | 03/28/2023

Simply Superb

Simply Superb! From the first contact with Jana in the office to the final steps with HECO this was an exceptional experience. Sean, our sales rep, immediately contacted us and listened to our needs and then after thoughtful review, and a prompt visit to the house, recommend the right setup for our needs. From there, the experience continued to get better. Clear, concise communication through the often times, slow and frustrating process of county and HECO approvals showed how they are clearly at the top of their game. Everything just clicked. Once approved, the next phase began. Once again, top class. Install date was set, prior to the install a tech came out and surveyed the property once again to make sure all details were to our liking and that they would arrive prepared for the install. That day came without a flaw. The Install manager was communicative, and effective! installation of 17 panels and a Tesla Battery were flawless, NO time was wasted & respect was shown for their presence in our space. They again, excelled at their part. Electrical installation came two days later, and after experiencing all of the above, I did not expect them to outshine themselves, but they did. The team was again, professional, courteous and simply did a stellar job at integrating the existing 34 panel system. the final install required some on the fly adjustments and creativity (our fault) and they were able to install a seamless and gorgeous install of all components needed on a single wall. Final inspections came and went without a hitch (of course) and the system is now cranking out sun power, enough to power the entire house and out cars (EV) with extra to spare, just a we requested. It is a thing of beauty, the feeling one gets when a) they harness the sun for all their power needs and more importantly b) they will never have to pay MECO another dime ;) Thank you for reading all of this, and please just know This IS the company to go with on MAUI. Bravo and our heartfelt thanks! Wynne Family

Best PV company on Maui!!!

Pacific Energy is so far ahead in the PV energy space. They have a business practice to get your system designed, approved, permitted, installed and close-out in record time. My experience with service and execution was better than my expectation. I had a very large system (91 panels) installed and they completed the entire system within 4 days! It passed inspection with no corrections. Their process to navigate this process is the best experience for a consumer. Let them do it and just write the check. Oh, and the products (SunPower panels and Solar Edge inverters) are the best in the market place with the best warranty and technology...hands down. Highly recommend Pacific Energy for Maui solar PV !!

Joe | Kihei, HI | 03/19/2020

Seamless Service- Satisfied Customer, worth the expense.

My electric bill was out of control, got to the point I would not run the A/C, and was chasing around the house turning off switches. I projected a first month bill of $800+. Pacific Energy provided me a system that was on time, at the specified cost, and with tax benefits, at both the Federal and State levels. System installed in 2 weeks. First MECO bill was $26. That is the minimum charge by the electric company.

Daniel Schechter | Kihei, HI | 08/29/2019

Excellent service

After I bought my house, my realtor gave me two recommendations for solar installers. I chose Daryl because he seemed forthright and up front. I was not disappointed. He did excellent work and did it on time. He responded quickly to my communications. I am extremely happy with my new solar power system.

Chris in Wailea | Wailea, HI | 04/04/2018

Top Tier PV Installer - Nothing but the Best!

Daryl stood out early when I began searching for a local PV installer. His friendly honesty, willingness to answer all of my many questions and scenarios in a timely fashion, documentation and excellent graphical modeling of his proposal all exceeded everyone else I contacted in the industry. His proposal came first, was the strongest to meet my needs, came organized with a realistic annual production model and attractive graphics of my proposed panel layout. He even graphically modeled my equipment rack with batteries. Few people, even fewer contractors, can meet my level of attention to detail. Daryl exceeded my expectations in every way. He used the highest quality products, used the best installation techniques, took great care of my existing masonry tile roofing, and skirted all of my panels nicely to meet local HOA requirements and then some. Speaking of the HOA, he navigated their strict requirements with ease. I never had to get involved. He is one of Maui's authorized Tesla dealers and I went with a Tesla PowerWall backup which operates flawlessly and looks incredible. When the install was complete Daryl gave me everything I needed to register my panels for their extended warranty. Even with the install complete he answers questions quickly and remains engaged in the operation and production of the system. During the bid process, before I selected Pacific Energy, one of the largest installers on Maui told me I'd need to place a deposit in order to have any of my questions answered or to have my proposed layout modeled, not so with Daryl. At least 3 of my neighbors are looking to have Daryl do projects on their homes, both new installs and existing system upgrades.

Deblynn | kihei, HI | 11/29/2017

Efficient, honest, great service

Daryl is a pleasure to work with, honest quote, comes in at price quoted. Extremely careful with ladders against the roof & left the protection in place for next service.

rob_b | 11/28/2017

Great Experience

We had a great experience working with Daryl. We spoke with several other providers and we felt Daryl gave us the most honest assessment of our options, especially with regard to the buy vs lease options. Daryl also worked with us to build the right system for us to address both our PV needs and our backup power solutions. We are very happy with the work they did and I would highly recommend them.

Sablestudios | 10/27/2017

Great Company, great people

We are completely satisfied with Daryl at pacific energy! Our system works extremely well, our bill is almost nil. The project was simple and smooth for us in every way. Excellent communication, excellent service! We are recommending them to our friends and neighbors.

KiheiGirl | 01/28/2017

Loving the savings

Pacific energy did a great job. My bill went from $300 to $20. They were also the best value compared to the other companies that I received proposals from. Daryl was super friendly and very informative and down-to-earth.

Rob Blair | 11/18/2016

Lucky to have him !!! Great Experience

Anyone lucky enough to have the knowledge , expertise , principal , integrity , and the Maui 'Joy ' that Daryl brings to the job is fortunate . His prices are the best in the island , and I would highly recommend him to anyone !

Bagels | 11/18/2016

Great experience!

Recieved quotes from a handful of companies and Daryl from Pacific Energy LLC stood out amongst all of them. Daryl is friendly & down to earth, was clear and easy to understand throughout the entire process, he made it easy for us to achieve our solar dream and overall great to work with. Would definitely recommend and use again for any of our future solar needs!

iwilkens | 11/13/2016

Wailea house

Pacific Energy did a great job of informing us on the options available for our house, they researched the strata requirements, and made the entire installation process very smooth.

Ocean Breeze Hideaway | 10/28/2016

Outstanding job at the lowest price

Daryl was thorough in helping us decide what size installation we needed and gave us the lowest price on Maui. He did an excellent job as scheduled. We run a bed and breakfast and our electric bill has not been over the low monthly billing fee since the solar system was installed. You can't go wrong with Pacific Energy.

Brooklyn | 10/24/2016

Amazing customer service!!

My husband and I could not be happier with Pacific Energy! Daryl was by far one of the best people I have ever worked with. He was always available for any help we needed, incredibly punctual and fast and extremely knowledgeable. You just can't beat his prices and service! I highly recommend Pacific Energy.

Why do I need a nickname | 10/23/2016

Pacific Energy, LLC

Daryl Hansen did a terrific job! The installation was smooth, timely and everything has worked without any issues. He helped our CPA obtain the tax credits for us.

WFE PV | 10/22/2016

Daryl Hansen and crew

Daryl started helping us from our first thoughts about solar. He added tremendous value to every step of the process. First we talked generally about solar and identified the factors on which to base our decision - economic, environmental, investment and return, and aesthetic. Then Daryl produced a plan and provided data to support each of the factors. We talked with Daryl, we discussed with others, we let the ideas germinate. Daryls recommendations for layout actually added positive value to the architecture of our home. He prepared all the government forms and explained them. We received approval, and the installation was done is less than a week. Even after final inspection and entry into the "net zero" metering program on Maui, Daryl had continued to answer questions, help with data analysis and support ideas about how to take best advantage of our PV power generation. Amazing. Highly recommended. Professional, supportive, friendly -- all the characteristics of the best.

Brocky | 10/22/2016

Maui

This company provided information and references so I could make an informed decision about the benefits of solar. They provided estimated financial benefits that I later found to be very accurate. Their workmanship was excellent and the installation was perfect. They have a very strong work ethic. I would be happy to recommend this company and have done so in the recent past.

GTO | 10/20/2016

Daryl Hansen

We love our solar panels and the cost savings they provide.

Maui bob | 10/17/2016

Great job.

I'm very happy with the work pacific energy did with my install. The owner is very organized and informed and does meticulous work. Give gim a try. You won't be disappointed.

CJG | 10/16/2016

Big electric bill savings!

Courteous. Install completed as quoted and with very short lead time. Great electric savings!

Cheryl & Roland | 10/14/2016

Solar Installation

Daryl Hansen and his team were professional, competitive and extremely knowledgeable about their product as well as local regulations. He presented a detailed estimate and was very easy to work with. The installation was done as promised, when promised in a professional manner. I would highly recommend Pacific Energy, LLC to anyone seeking a solar installation.

MauiPaintball | 10/14/2016

Loving it off grid

Pacific Energy did our small 12 panel, OutBack, off-grid system. It's been working flawlessly for many years. Their price was super good and Daryl made sure we understood what we can and can't do with our off-grid system.

kulaman | 10/13/2016

Great Job

Daryl and his crew did a great job. He took the time to make sure I knew how the system worked and how to monitor it. I have recommended him a few times.

roller | 10/13/2016

Great Company

Pacific Energy is an excellent company. They were very professional and economical in their approach. Their representative came to my house and gave me a very detailed analysis of my needs. He looked over my electric bills and made suggestions on how many panels I would need to provide my home with electricity. The documentation was well done and very precise. The actual installation was done with care and safety. The completed process was extremely well done and the paperwork all done and approved. The Pacific Energy representative was very diligent and come back a few times to make sure everything was working well. This is a company that just doesn't do the work and then leave you, they follow up and make sure everything is doing fine. I would recommend Pacific Energy in the highest possible way. They are a first rate company with exceptional customer service. Finally their prices are very competitive and well below other companies. Thank you Pacific Energy for taking care of my electric needs.

Woofer | 10/11/2016

Highly Recommend

Daryl at Pacific Energy recently installed our solar PV system on our new home here on Maui. He and his team are very friendly and professional so the install was completed quickly and on time. Both my husband and I especially appreciated that Daryl took the time to explain how to use the system since we were new to solar PV. I highly recommend Pacific Energy to anyone wishing harness the power of the sun to reduce your energy costs here on the island!

Ron Ross | 10/10/2016

excellent service

I have referred four more of my friends to Daryl and all have had the same good remarks about their service and neat installation. No messy wires hanging down the side of my house and a neat and professional attitude.

Cass | 10/10/2016

Highly recommend!

Pacific Energy recently installed our solar panel system on our new home - and we couldn't be happier that we went with him. For the months leading up we were in contact with most - if not all - of maui's solar companies. A close friend recommended Daryl and his team at Pacific energy to us after an outstanding job on his new house in wailea. We are so glad we found him. From the beginning his customer service was on point. He worked with our individual situation to make sure we were able to take advantage of our net metering approval and installation was seamless and the project was completed right on time. He is very nice to work with and we are so glad we went with him. We have since recommended him to our dearest friends and family who are equally as thrilled with him. Thanks to Daryl we are powered by the sun - without any stress and headache! I highly recommend Daryl for anyone shopping around for solar on Maui.

FUmeco | 10/10/2016

Daryl Hansen is awesome

My wife and I got several quotes from the big outfits for our 10kw project (Risingsun, haleakala solar, etc) then my friend told me about Daryl Hansen, his quote was thousands less than the competition with American made panels. The job was done quickly and professionally and we haven't had any problems after 2 years. I have referred him to several friends and family and all have been extremely happy with his work. Thank you Daryl.

Amermaidy | 10/10/2016

Excellant service!

Daryl was amazing to work with from the beginning permit process to the end of our installation. We will be using Pacific Energy to install panels on our new home we purchased last year.

WHYNOT | 10/10/2016

Satisfied customer

Very happy with install, performance and communication.

RisingHigh | 10/09/2016

Highly recommended!

It was a pleasure dealing with Pacific Energy. From the get go, they were very responsive and professional. Their work is outstanding and during the whole process make you feel your in good hands.

Bj7688 | 10/08/2016

Solar PV

Very happy with the installation of our solar PV. Pacific Energy and Daryl Hanson did a great job! From first coming over, explaining every concern we had, estimating panels we needed, installation was fast and efficient.

Bob 1 | 10/08/2016

Great Installation

Daryl and Pono arrived on time and did a great job installing our PV panels. After they were installed Daryl took the time to ensure I understood the monitoring system.

Mauikid | 10/08/2016

Completely satisfied with our solar system

Daryl Hanson & his company installed our solar system. We were out of town, and he handled everything expertly! He had to deal with our home owners association, and he did it with patience, and professionally. Daryl helped us with the internet application and he always returns our calls & answers any questions we have, even after a year. Thank you Daryl

nader | 10/08/2016

very HAPPY !!

i WANTED A HYBRID SYSTEM THAT HAS BATTERY POWER BACK UP. iT TOOK MAUI ELECTRIC ONE YEAR TO APPROVE THIS LOCATION AND 3 INSPECTION FORM MAUI COUNTY ( CAUSE THIS SYSTEM IS MORE COMPLEX ESPECiaILLY SINCE i WANTED ONLY THE 120 TO BE BACK UP......AND THEN i WAS THE LAST ONE THAT MAUI ELECTRIC APPROVED ON A SCNEIDER SYYTEM HYBRID WITH SAME SOFTWARE. So happy...a dream come true.

mauijohn | 10/07/2016

You will know when you talk to Dary Hanson if Solar is for you,

My family was very unsure about investing in Solar as my retirement was imminent and knee replacement surgery was a couple of weeks away in Honolulu. Daryl and I talked mostly about bikes, surf and trucks when he came. By the time Daryl left that day, I read through his analysis and statistical estimates of the Sun’s seasonal movement, the position of our house, and our particular energy needs, we had no doubt about moving forward. Not only did we save thousands of dollars from other estimators, but Daryl and his crew were on the roof as I returned from hip surgery and the job was finished in a couple of days. Daryl followed up, notified when trees were blocking the panels, and advise on how to maximize the sun movements, and I saved hundreds in retirement. Local style good value service....get him if you can because you won’t see a Pacific Energy advertisement.

Nick&Betty | 10/07/2016

We highly recommend Daryl and his company Pacific Energy!!

We are extremely happy that we have chosen Daryl Hansen for the purchase and installation of our 2 PV systems. He was very professional, outstanding knowledgeable and extremely reliable. He is not in it to rip you off like some other companies; he is in the business because of his passion for alternative energy. His price was by far the lowest of all here on the Island for the same product and his work was excellent. It took him and his crew only a day and a half to install the 2 systems. We can highly recommend Daryl and if we should ever need another PV system we definitely would go with Daryl and his company again!! Thank's Daryl!! Nick & Betty

mdehand | 10/07/2016

Kihei Install

I was one of the first 10 customers, Daryl was able to answer all of my questions and put me at ease with the process. He took care all the permits and paperworks, and I din't have to lift a finger. The Installation was flawless and done in 2 days, day one was mostly hardware installation, day two was the whirring connection. My system is working

Maui Eddie | 10/07/2016

2641 Lioholo PL

Daryl Hansen is the owner/operator of Pacific Energy located in Kihei, HI. My whole experience was very satisfactory starting with the sales proposal through the installation and post-installation follow up. His proposal offered five more panels than a competitor's proposal for the same price. Installation occurred in a day and a half. My electric bill went to the minimum immediately and stayed there even when I added two split air cooling systems.

TrinklePete | 10/07/2016

Exceeded expectations

I was very nervous about installing PV solar on my home. I wasn't very knowledgable about which system to go with or what company to trust with such a large expense and endeavor. Even though Pacific Energy was a fairly new company at the time he came highly recommended and we met with him. His extensive knowledge about the product and installation immediately put us at ease and we knew he could be trusted and we were in the right hands. Installation went perfect. Everything was on time, his crew were wonderful to work with and the finished product was just beautiful on my home. He followed through after the install to make sure we were set up on the website to track our savings and give us further tips and assistance. Sometimes doing business on an island can be nerve racking and disappointing but not in this case. This was a quality company in every way and I was thrilled with every aspect of working with Daryl Hansen. If I can, I'm happy to answer any questions you may have about Pacific Energy and our experience with them.

ScottBH | 10/07/2016

Great Job!

My experience with Pacific Energy and Daryl Hansen was excellent. I feel Daryl was honest with me, did not try to over sell and was professional from the start of the project to completion. I had given up on the idea of PV panels based on several previous bids, then a neighbor mentioned his positive experience with Pacific Energy. I made the call and am now 100% pleased with the entire process.

slattengren | 10/07/2016

Why would you use anyone else?

I have had Daryl install systems on two houses for me. Daryl is amazing. Most knowledgeable, best price, best quality racking and components. Flawless installation. What more could anyone want? Daryl doesn't seem like he's in it for the money. He has a real passion for energy and building the best possible system and value for his customers. I recommended a very good friend of mine to go solar, and of course to call Daryl. My friend shopped around a bit and wound up with Daryl doing his house. There were some unforeseen hoops to jump through for his HOA and Daryl did all the jumping for him. My friend is a business owner and a very busy guy with a high value on his time. With Daryl handling everything for him, he couldn't have been happier. I'm sure NOBODY else would have done ALL the legwork for him. Who does that anymore? DARYL DOES!
