The Rising Sun Difference
1. 20 Years Solar Expertise
Founded in 1986 with 20 years of solar experience, Rising Sun is one of the most seasoned and well-trained companies in the State of Hawaii. This has allowed us to develop our focus on providing the best workmanship, best products and best service in the industry.
2. Locally Owned & Operated
As a locally owned and operated company, we are committed to making “going solar” an easy, affordable and reliable process – after all it’s our friends and neighbors we need to ensure are happy with their solar system.
3. Environment
We are out to change the world and we already have! When we began over 12 years ago we installed the 7th Net Metered PV system on Maui, today over 10% of Hawaii’s power is currently generated by small-distributed solar systems. Rising Sun has been a leader in efforts to promote sustainability, encourage environmental stewardship, and illuminate the pathway to energy independence. Rising Sun has been chosen as Maui’s Best Green Business in 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014.
We take pride in our trade and we are excited to be a part of Hawaii’s Clean Energy Goal to reach 70% renewable generation by 2045.
4. Energy Independence
Rising Sun is devoted to renewable energy and sustainability throughout the community, co-founding the Hawai‘i PV Coalition in 2003 we have worked tirelessly to maintain the NET Metering Law and allow more PV systems to interconnect to the grid. We continue to be at the table for the PUC proceedings related to regulation and legislation of Hawaii State Energy Policy.
