The quality and attention to detail were far beyond what I anticipated.
"What really stood out was how well everything was coordinated and communicated. There were no delays, no surprises, and every member of the team was friendly, respectful, and clearly knowledgeable. It's rare these days to find a company that delivers on every front, but Aloha Solar truly did."

The preliminary consultation by David was insightful and extremely helpful.
"Aloha Solar has exceeded my expectations in every aspect. The scheduling was quick and professional. The crew showed up on time, prepared, and friendly. Jerry, Sam, Kasha, and Minas were hard-working, knowledgeable, and thorough. I can highly recommend Aloha Solar."
Ozan Makinaci
Absolutely thrilled with the final result.
"We had an excellent experience with Aloha Solar for our solar, battery, and roof underlay replacement. The entire team was incredibly knowledgeable and provided great customer service throughout the whole process. We would recommend Aloha Solar without a moment's hesitation to anyone considering solar."

Free Solar Program FAQ
Do I have to pay anything to attend?
No, attendance and lunch are free.
What’s the catch?
None. The session is informational and designed to help homeowners understand program options.
Do I have to sign up on the spot?
No. You can decide later or schedule a follow-up visit if you’re interested.
What if I can’t make it?
Request a recording or register for the next session.
How long does it take to install the system?
The installation time (construction crew at your house) is approximately 1 week, but the total timeline from order to installation is around 3-4 months. This includes time to receive all relevant customer information, design and obtain permits for the system, submit for interconnection with the utility, and prepare for construction. After the system is installed, it typically takes 2-6 weeks to receive permission to operate, allowing the system to freely export extra electricity (not consumed or stored on site) back to the utility.
What happens if I rent out my home to tenants?
With our Renters Program, with landlord and tenant approval, the landlord will grant permission to install and maintain the system at the home, and the tenant will sign up for electric service with Clean Energy Alliance and select the Solar Plus tariff. If interested, please have your landlord email [email protected].
What size is the system that will be installed on my home?
Your system will be custom-designed by Tesla designers based on your annual electricity usage and available roof space. When you submit your initial order, you will approve an initial rough estimate, which will be further refined between you and Aloha Solar Power.
How long do the solar panels last?
Minimum of 25 years, but the equipment is generally designed for a 30+ year life.
Will I ever need to replace my solar panel or battery?
You are never responsible for solar panel or battery replacement. All future panel and battery replacements are supplied at no additional cost to you, under the Solar Plus program.
How do batteries work with solar?
The solar panels generate electricity that gets used by the house. At any given time, if the solar is generating more electricity than the house is using, then the excess electricity charges the battery for future consumption. Only if the batteries are fully charged and there isn’t enough load on site to consume the solar energy, then the excess energy will be sent back to the utility and credited to the customer under SDG&E’s then-current Net Energy Metering (NEM) program.
How much space will I need for the battery?
Each Tesla “Powerwall” battery is approximately 30 inches wide, 46 inches tall, and 6 inches deep. The batteries will be installed using as little space as required by your Building and Safety department.
What if my system has problems?
All systems under Solar Plus are serviced by using the same service staff and platform as any other system or customer. A representative will help you understand your problem and resolve any issues you have with the system.
Do I get tax incentives for installing the system?
No. The tax incentives go to the owner of the system, which is the fund. The fund uses the tax incentives as part of the financial model to provide you power at a lower price and with no upfront cost.
What happens if I sign up for panels but then change my mind a year later and want to own the system at that time?
You can buy out the system at any time at the fair-market-value.
How long does the battery last on average?
The battery and solar will either continue to operate or be replaced by the program throughout the term of your contract (at no cost to you). It is anticipated that the batteries will need to be replaced one time over the term of your contract (again, at no cost to you).
