About Us
Specializing in professional design, sales, and installation of solar electric photovoltaic systems (PV) and solar hot water systems, Rising Sun has pioneered solar net-metered systems in Hawaii.
Since 1986, Rising Sun Electric has operated as licensed electrical contractor (C-28184, formerly C-13046 and C-26823) in the State of Hawaii. In 2003, RSE expanded their business to include solar electric and formed Rising Sun Solar Electric. RSSE has since installed more PV systems than any contractor on Maui. Rising Sun has installed systems island-wide. We have installed for Hawaii Electric Light Company (HELCO) and Maui Electric Company (MECO) for their Sun Power for Schools program, and in 2004, we were chosen by HELCO and Hawaii to install a 495-module system at the Natural Energy Lab in Kona. Rising Sun has provided training and education to Maui Community College for work force development programs and sustainability curriculum.
Proven and Reliable
Rising Sun Solar Electric is a certified Sharp and SMA installer. *Sharp, the world's #1 producer of solar panels, backs their products with a 25-year warranty, while SMA, the leading manufacturer of solar electric inverters, provides a 10-year warranty on their products. As a company, we work personally with our clients, providing the highest standards of customer satisfaction. Our systems are carefully designed to fit the customer's economic and energy needs, so that satisfaction is ensured every step of the way. We offer a wide range of buyer options to our customers, including buying, leasing, and power purchase agreements (PPA's), making it easy for you to go solar today.
Committed to Energy Independence
At RSSE, we are dedicated to working with the sustainable resources available to us today so that we may achieve energy independence in the future. We're also committed to raising public awareness about renewable energy in our community. To that end, Rising Sun Solar with other industry leaders co-founded a nonprofit coalition of businesses and homeowners promoting solar electricity. We want to continue to provide the community with an easy way to purchase clean, affordable electricity that reduces our carbon emissions, and eliminates our dependency on foreign oil. We hope to leave a better world for our children and grandchildren and to strengthen the economy through energy independence.
