Aloha Solar Power and Electrical Services reviews

Heber C. has lived in Rancho Santa Fe for nine years and put a 96-panel solar array on his home six years ago, only to face one problem after another from the moment the installers left. For years he hired several technicians who charged well and tinkered without solving the issues, leaving him frustrated and paying for fixes that never stuck. Then he found Gabe. Gabe was the first person to actually come out, take the time to understand and interpret the array, and lay out a straightforward, reasonably priced plan. He sourced the replacement components, did the work, and the system ran perfectly for a year. When some parts failed again, Gabe showed up immediately, ordered the needed equipment, and—though deliveries took several months—kept Heber informed throughout the wait and returned it to full operation. What stands out is Gabe’s combination of technical attention and follow-through during a long parts delay: steady communication and persistence turned six years of frustration into a system that finally works as expected. He calls Gabe the best service person he’s interacted with across any trade, and the memory that sticks is Gabe’s refusal to walk away until the job was done

John S. had a solar system installed on his home and walked away impressed. He found the crew — Matt F, Gerry, Sam, Juan and Issac — consistently on time, professional and knowledgeable. They answered his questions, cleaned up the worksite thoroughly, and the system has performed exactly as promised. He gave a five‑star rating and specifically thanked the team by name for the smooth, reliable installation.

After several years of weighing the pros and cons, Danielle decided this summer to move forward with solar for her home and collected five bids. Aloha Solar landed in the middle on price, and from the first site visit Gabe took time to walk her through options, answer every question, and tailor a system to their actual needs rather than pushing a bigger package. He stayed quick to the keyboard too—re-drafting quotes promptly whenever they asked for changes and keeping communication responsive. Installation day felt effortless: the crew arrived on time, worked professionally, and had the system live by the end of the day. The post-install team kept that momentum, handling SDG&E’s inspection queries fast so final approval came through shortly after installation. The array has been performing as expected, and what remains most memorable is Gabe’s hands-on responsiveness and the smooth handoff from quote to activation.

Cindy Z. hired Aloha Solar for a full home system — everything from pulling permits to installation and the final inspection — and later brought them back to add a battery backup. She watched the project move from paperwork to finished hardware, noting the crew was respectful and that the system has continued to perform more than a year later. The standout was Joseph, who coordinated the whole job and “made it happen” even though Cindy lived about 45 minutes away. She ended up wishing she could hire them for more work, largely because the installation simply worked and the team handled the logistics.

Terry first had Aloha install his solar system four years ago; recently they returned to add a Tesla battery wall to his home. He worked with Gabe, Pete, Gil and Saul during the upgrade, and their steady professionalism made the second project feel as smooth and reliable as the original installation. The crew completed the job cleanly and efficiently, underscoring Aloha’s first-class approach to service. What stuck with him most was the consistency — a neatly installed Tesla battery wall delivered by the same dependable team that handled his initial system.

Philip was referred to Gabe by a solar firm that only handles commercial work and hoped Gabe could handle a residential install. He found Gabe unusually responsive and detail-oriented, with clear explanations and a steady professionalism and courtesy throughout the process. Rather than treating the job like a checkbox, Gabe spent time sharing practical experience and advice — a consultative approach that stood out in a market full of installers just trying to turn out installs. Philip flags one practical warning for buyers: check reviews closely, because most negative experiences come not from the install itself but from poor follow-up and lack of service after the sale. In the end he chose Aloha Solar Power for his home panels because their combination of follow-through and value made the decision easy; the thing he kept coming back to was Gabe’s willingness to explain ongoing service and actually follow through.

Jessica had long been skeptical of solar companies, convinced many exist to take advantage of people. She finally found the right team when Joseph, a friendly, small‑town Maui rep, spent time answering every question, tailored a project to her needs, and connected her with a reliable roofer. The roofing crew removed her entire roof in one day and installed the replacement the next—work she expected would normally stretch over several days. When panel day came, Minas, Isaac, and Angel powered through a sudden downpour and still installed 14 panels and a Tesla Powerwall in a single day. The whole process moved quickly from that first meeting to a finished system. What stuck with her was the seamless coordination: a new roof and a 14‑panel array plus a backup battery, all completed in just a few concentrated days, even in bad weather.

John C. dug through Yelp and the BBB and gathered three bids before landing on Aloha Solar in Encinitas, CA — and he discovered the difference right away: Aloha sold and installed their own systems, so there was no middleman and their pricing was competitive. He met with the team by phone within 48 hours, moved from that first meeting to a completed rooftop install in under 30 days, and then received SDG&E approval less than two weeks later. Along the way he received copies of permits and photos of the actual roof work, and the crew walked him through payment options and the trade-offs for adding a battery backup so he understood what he was buying. He appreciated that answers didn’t come from a remote office — the salesperson, the techs and even the owner stayed available by text, often on weekends, to handle questions. He singled out installers Gilbert, Kosha and Isaac and thanked Peter and Davd at Aloha Solar for being part of a team that stayed engaged from sale to switch‑on. The detail that stuck with him: a fast, transparent process with real people on the other end of the line, so he felt prepared as the 2025 solar-credit deadline approached — and he’s already referring them

Dirk J hired Aloha Solar Power to add panels and a Tesla Powerwall to his home. The crew arrived on time and, over a single eight-hour day, finished the entire installation. One installer walked him through the Tesla app on his phone, turning setup and monitoring into something clear and easy to use. He left with a working system, confidence in operating the Powerwall, and the surprise that the whole job fit neatly into one day.
