Informative Online Resources
Sunspear has a robust online presence with a website that offers customers lots of information about product details. Sunspear partners with top-quality industry material manufacturers that offer great warranties and are considered the premier choices. Each product line that Suspear offers is described in detail slong with the benefits of using these products for energy independence.
Sunspear exclusively uses SunPower and REC panels. Both panel brands have 25-year warranties which are the best in the industry. Customers can get a lot of information from a solar representative in a phone call or visit, but the information in print on a company website is very assuring for a customer to be able to refer to when talking to multiple options and comparing what each company offers.
Regional Awareness
Sunspear understands that along with the desirable Hawaiian location comes a high cost of living for locals; financial affordability is important. Solar independence helps with the growing cost of utilities. With Hawaii’s initiatives to use clean energy and a large coal plant shutting down, the state is offering more and more to get residents to become energy independent. There are federal and state incentive tax credits currently, and Hawaiian Electric is offering home battery rebates with a rewards program for residents taking advantage of solar options.
Financing Options
Sunspear knows many customers will not have the financial resources to pay for a solar system in cash and offers great financing. Customers can qualify for a $0 down solar loan that can be paid off anytime without penalty, tax incentives can still be claimed, and customers can see immediate savings on their monthly bills. Customers will need a 640 credit score to take advantage of this financial program.
Sunspear also partners with SunPower to offer clients the option of a solar lease. This option is designed for the customer to lease the equipment, which is owned by SunPower Capital and still benefits from the electricity savings. This option costs the customer “rent” but comes with no out-of-pocket expenses and can be transferred to the next homeowner if the home is sold during the leasing period.

Past Project Specs
Sunspear offers an impressive history of solar installations. Sunspear started with large commercial projects like the island’s airport, school buildings, and waterpark. In the past few years, Sunspear has taken on smaller residential projects and demand for individual home installs has grown. As the Hawaiian government has gotten more serious about its energy initiative and is offering more financial incentives, locals are jumping on the bandwagon to become energy independent.
