TESTIMONIALS

"Professional, Personable, Responsive, and Reliable"

"Your crew showed up on time and were professional from start to finish"

"They were all professional, knew their stuff"

"We would definitely do it all over again."

We contracted with ProVision Solar after multiple positive reviews from friends. From start to finish they were exceptionally professional, from our project leader managing expectations about the permit process to the crew installing panels, battery, and conduit on the house. There was great communication from the entire team. They handled all of the coordination with HELCO and the County. And the physical install work was very well done. Highly recommended. We would definitely do it all over again.

"Longtime Big Island business—a primary reason to go with ProVision Solar"

We were very pleased with the work and crews who came to our home for this system replacement. Panels continued to slowly go bad (past warranty), and it was the right time for a replacement. As we had a savings payback of 3.5 years on the first system, because of small rebates, we anticipate a bit longer savings payback of probably 7 years. ProVision handled all permitting and is in the process of arranging all inspections. Again, we are pleased with the results. Also, pricing was fair and competitive. A primary reason to go with ProVision this time is because they are a longtime Big Island business. That means they are right here if servicing is required. Thank you, ProVision.

"I am 100% satisfied with ProVision Solar. They exceed my expectations. I have no regrets."

I am 100% satisfied with ProVision Solar. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and very professional, from sales to the project management and the installation crew. I have talked to several different solar companies and choose to go with ProVision, I have no regrets. They took care of all the paperwork with HECO and the county. I am very happy with the Maui installation team lead by Chad and his crew, Kawika, Paulo, and Kyle. They work great together. They are flexible, efficient, and very detailed in their work. Awesome group of guys. They exceed my expectations. I appreciate Chad who took the time to answer my questions and educated me on how the system works. Top notch service.

"MONEY WELL SPENT."

I Recommend ProVision Solar any day, anytime! You know when you make a big purchase and you get those second thoughts? Sometimes they go away, sometimes they get worse. And to add to my second thoughts, I was a little skeptical that the company on the Big Island doing the work here on Oahu. I can tell you my second thoughts were wiped away after the finished product by ProVision Solar. I am exceptionally happy with the customer service from start to finish. And really, really happy with the team that started the preps with Isaiah, continued with Spencer. And I could not be happier with the installation team and their supporting members. The Ghost Team, led by Kekoa, with his trusty team of Jaden and Elijah expertly and very professionally completed the one-day installation. The inspector found no issues and appeared impressed with the quality of the installation. And on the back end Stef was there to see the installation through and then Jovian the master tech behind the scenes finished off the set up. Steph and Kekoa really went the extra mile to make sure my needs were met. My panels have been cranking! Feeding the battery, feeding the house, and feeding the grid. Money well spent.

"SUPER RESPONSIVE AND SEAMLESS FROM START TO FINISH."

Knowing that purchasing a photovoltaic system would be a major capital investment in my home, I did as much due diligence as I possibly could and put the salespeople I dealt with to the test. The sales rep from ProVision Solar was head and tails above the others, knew their stuff, was very responsive and was with me every step of the way. As well, all the other staff I dealt with were professional, open and communicative throughout the permitting, utility, installation and commissioning process. Finally, after several months of flawless operation (including providing back-up power during a number of utility power outages), I can attest to the accuracy of the projected solar production and power bill savings. I recommend these guys with enthusiasm and, finally, finally, am really stoked to be able to support a locally-owned, and -operated solar firm.

"WE'VE BEEN SO IMPRESSED WITH PROVISION, THEIR PRODUCTS ARE GREAT, BUT THEIR PEOPLE AND SERVICES ARE BETTER!"

"WHEN OTHERS WERE AFFECTED BY THE BAD STORMS WITH LOSS OF POWER, MY SYSTEM WAS FULLY ACTIVE IN TAKING CARE OF MY POWER NEEDS."

"It was the first time that I was anxious to see a utility bill!"

"I HIGHLY RECOMMEND PROVISION SOLAR, A LOCAL HILO COMPANY,  YOU WON'T REGRET IT."

"SAVINGS HAVE BEEN $275 TO $325 PER MONTH"

Got my 32 panel with 2 Tesla Powerwalls installed a year and a half ago. I have been running 24/7 on solar power averaging 75-80%. Savings have been $275 to $325 per month. This is exactly what I was expecting when I ordered the system. Very happy with ProVision and the equipment installed. My Tesla app that monitors the Powerwalls tells me the HELCO grid has been down 10 times for 3 hrs total and I never knew it was down at all.

"THANKS FOR THE EXCELLENT SERVICE AND WORK DONE TO GET OUR NEW SOLAR SYSTEM INSTALLED AND OPERATIONAL"

Aloha Marco:
Janet and I would like to extend to you and your staff our thanks for the excellent service and work done to get our new solar system installed and operational.

This was our second solar system installed by ProVision. This time, as well as the first time we used ProVision, our initial contact with Kathryn was of a great help in deciding what was needed for a system. She was always available when we had questions or needed clarification of issues.

As before, your crew that did the install was very neat and clean in their work and professional. We were quite impressed as to how quickly they got the work done.

And a word about Keaka. His knowledge about the system and the Tesla Powerwall is well beyond words. His help in explaining how it works and solving a problem we had exemplified his expertise.

So please give our aloha nui loa to all, and don’t forget Kim and Emily who had to handle a ton of paper work.

Aloha,

"A WORRY FREE “TURN-KEY” SYSTEM AND VALUABLE ADVICE"

We just received our first electricity bill since installation of the SunPower/Satcon Photovoltaic system and were pleased to see a significant reduction in energy usage. Considering the unusually cloudy/rainy weather we’ve had, it was surprising to see how efficiently the panels can capture energy. We expect the system to pay for itself in 4.5 years.
I must tell you how great it was to work with and Provision Technologies. With our refrigeration/freezer running at .47 cents a kilowatt hour, one of the highest in the nation, we were looking for alternatives but knew little about photovoltaics. Contracting Provision essentially provided us a worry free “turn-key” system and valuable advice like leveraging tax credits. Your engineering team and sub-contractors were the best; efficient, educating us, always keeping us “in the loop”. We had no business interruption and the installation finished weeks ahead of schedule.

Please extend our appreciation to the rest of your team for a job well done. We will not hesitate to recommend you to anyone interested in solar power for their home or business.

"AN EMINENTLY QUALIFIED AND PROFESSIONAL SOLAR DESIGN FIRM"

This letter of recommendation is to acknowledge the service and attention, which the personnel at ProVision Technologies provided to Hawaii Electric Light Company during and after the installation of a 5.4 kW grid-connected photovoltaic system on our Engineering Building in Kailua-Kona. The system was installed in December 2001.
As this system is installed at a highly visible location at our Kailua-Kona baseyard, the quality of the system and installation, provided by ProVision recommended electrical contractor, needed to be exemplary.

ProVision Technologies provided the major components and design for the system in a timely and professional manner. Though the inverter, which was selected for the installation had some new product problems, ProVision was very responsive in addressing the situation with the manufacturer and in satisfactorily resolving the inverter problems. Moreover, after the installation was complete, ProVision personnel worked closely with us to make sure that the PV system was operating at its peak efficiency.

I can wholeheartedly and without reservation recommend ProVision Technologies as an eminently qualified and professional solar design firm.

"A GREAT INVESTMENT AND HAS DRAMATICALLY LOWERED OUR ELECTRIC BILL"

I’m taking this opportunity to let you know how pleased we are with the ProVision solar electric system that was installed on our facility last year. As a business owner here on the Big Island, I’m looking for investments that make good economic sense and offer high value. Our grid-connected photovoltaic system made for a great investment and has dramatically lowered our electric bill. Over each of the past several months our net kilowatt-hour bill has been reduced to zero.
I also want to commend you and ProVision for providing us with detailed responses to our questions when we first considered installing a solar electric system, the prompt follow through in arranging for the installation and ProVision’s supervision of the project from to start to finish.

Being one of the first Net Energy Metered solar electric pioneers here in the state, we were excited to take advantage of this new program. Our ProVision system has exceeded our expectations and we can heartily recommend ProVision Technologies as a solar electric system provider.

"VERY PLEASED WITH THE SERVICE AND COMPETENCE OF PROVISION"

We have always had exceptionally high electric rates here on Kauai. We began thinking about a solar electric system and found ProVision Technologies, Inc. You provided timely and high quality information that allowed us to fairly assess that merits of the technology.
When we decided to go ahead with project, ProVision supplied us not only with the main components for the system, you also provided all engineering services, vendor relations, and a competitive bid between contractors for the installation. The installation process seemed well coordinated and did not cause significant disruption of our normal business.

In this past year following the installation, ProVision had stayed in contact with us and showed a real interest in assuring the proper performance of our system. Frankly, I was a little hesitant as you’re located in Hilo and it’s a difficult journey to get to Kauai from there, but you’ve been more than responsive.

I am very pleased with the service and competence of ProVision and highly recommend you to anyone interested in joining our efforts towards a sustainable energy future.

"WE REMAIN VERY SATISFIED CUSTOMERS AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS OF USE."

Last year we purchased a photovoltaic solar electric system from ProVision. ProVision and Marco Mangelsdorf in particular, listened to our wants and needs, studied our structure, did a good careful design, brought in competent skilled subcontractors, delivered on time and in budget, and followed up well after the installation. We remain very satisfied customers after several months of use.
We’re happy to be saving a couple hundred dollars a month on the electric bill, and we’re continually finding ways to conserve electricity inside the office, so we can get that bill down to around zero.

We’re pleased to recommend ProVision to other clients on the Big Island, and would be glad to answer questions about our system.

"MARCO WAS VERY HELPFUL AND VERY PROFESSIONAL. HE ANSWERED ALL OF OUR QUESTIONS, PROVIDED US WITH LITERATURE AND PRODUCT INFORMATION, AND OVERSAW THE INSTALLATION OF THE SYSTEM"

I am taking the liberty of writing to you in this fashion in my capacity as a HELCO customer and a stockholder in HEI. I have enclosed this letter in another one addressed to ProVision (in Hilo) and asked that they forward it to your respective offices.
Last month we had a 3kW photovoltaic system (grid-connected, net-metered) installed at our home in Kailua- Kona. It has been in operation for three full weeks now and we are very happy with it. We have not yet received our monthly HELCO bill and so we do not yet know how it is effecting the bill financially. But, we have now produced 189 kWh of electricity and we are very happy about that.

The particular reason for this letter is to compliment your staff at ProVision, most especially Mr. Marco Mangelsdorf. Marco was very helpful and very professional. He answered all of our questions, provided us with literature and product information, and oversaw the installation of the system. We are aware of the fact that other companies claim that they can do it cheaper but we felt more comfortable dealing with a thoroughly professional (and professionally thorough) company. We were not as knowledgeable about electrical contracting and the installation of PV systems as perhaps some other people may be. But, we feel very confident that we avoided many possible pitfalls and were happy that the permitting and inspections proceeded so smoothly. We really do feel that Mr. Mangelsdorf saved us a lot of potential problems and eased the whole project considerably. This system represented a considerable investment for us Over $23,000.00 so we were very anxious to have it done well. We think that is was, and that Marco is a valuable asset to your (our!) company.

We look forward to many years of production from our PV system.
