Rebuilt Right – Whole-Home Backup in Kohala Ranch

After inheriting a seriously flawed and unsafe solar installation from a previous contractor, the Brunnick family faced not only operational failures but also potential regulatory setbacks. Our team stepped in and spent months working closely with the homeowners, the utility company, and the county to design and implement a fully upgraded 14kW solar and battery backup system.

This redesigned system meets all modern codes and safety standards while also retaining eligibility under a grandfathered utility program that the previous contractor had mishandled. Now fully operational, the system provides reliable, whole-home backup power and delivers substantial monthly savings — offering the Brunnicks peace of mind, energy independence, and long-term security.

Our team of experts provides in-depth consultations to help you explore the best renewable energy options for your property. We assess energy needs, budget, and location to develop customized, sustainable solutions for homes, businesses, and public institutions.
