HEC is the best in the business. They really strive to find win/ win scenarios for all parties included. If you want to go solar - look no further. There are other choices here on the Big Island - but I didn't consider them for one minute. I have a PV and thermal system from HEC - now looking at having them install a battery back up system on my house!

We already have solar on our home, and I'm sure your products/ services are good, but your TV commercial is annoying! The actors are terrible and the "small" electric bill shown as a small piece of paper - come on, it's really not comical at all. You really should do another commercial and scrap the current one.
