Client Reviews

I closed on my house in early November 2025 and wanted to get solar installed before the 2026 New Year. Contacted multiple companies and was told it would be impossible to do or was just blown off. Malama completed the project by mid-December which was under 30 days from 1st contact to the installation being complete. Super professional, quality installers, Karson was available to answer all of my questions and Pat went above and beyond to make sure this was completed on time. If you're looking to install Solar Malama is the company you should go with.

I'm absolutely thrilled with my experience with Malama Solar! This team exceeded every expectation from start to finish. The crew was incredibly personable and took the time to explain every step of the PV system installation. Their customer service was top-notch – patient, informative, and genuinely caring. They started early and wrapped up the entire installation by afternoon with exceptional quality work. It's rare to find a company that combines technical excellence with such genuine aloha spirit. The Malama Solar team made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. If you're considering solar, I wholeheartedly recommend Malama Solar. You'll get both great solar panels and a team that truly cares about doing right by you. Mahalo, Malama Solar!
