Regis Electric reviews

After retiring to a small organic farm on Hawaii Island, Stephen arrived with a full set of 10 kW solar gear shipped from China—the same size systems he had helped install in post‑quake Haiti with Dr. Bill Behrens. He tried to handle the build himself, but Hawaii’s strict permitting and HELCO requirements kept tripping him up, and the big installers he approached insisted he sell his panels and buy theirs (one even offered to procure the very SunPower modules he already owned after he’d sold them). Frustrated, he kept looking and found Regis Electric on his fifth call; Regis Brun agreed to work with the equipment he already had and to navigate local rules. A longtime manager at the Villages at Mauna Lani had overseen some 80 PV projects—70 installed by Regis—and praised their fair pricing, technical precision, speed and long‑term service, and Stephen’s experience matched that description. Regis recommended an inverter and battery bank that lined up with favorable expert reviews, priced the package fairly, and staffed the job with a responsive customer rep, David, and a technical team led by Malakai whose can‑do attitude kept communication open. The installation crew, led by Manu, —

Healing G. arrived on Hawaii Island as a retired engineer running a small organic farm, carrying the remnants of a 10 kW power plant he’d helped assemble — parts shipped from China and originally put together with a colleague from MIT after years installing solar in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake. He discovered that local rules and HELCO requirements made self-installation and his planned barn-mounted setup difficult, and most large installers wanted him to sell his equipment and buy their kits instead. One even offered to source 34 SunPower 327 panels after he’d already had identical panels on hand. Regis Electric changed the story. Regis Brun agreed to work with the gear he already owned and to integrate whatever components were still useful. That flexibility stood out and prompted a deeper look: a manager at the Villages at Mauna Lani who had overseen about 80 PV installations confirmed Regis Electric handled roughly 70 of them and repeatedly delivered fair pricing, fast, precise work, and reliable aftercare — including repairing arrays installed by other companies. Healing found that experience matched in practice. Regis recommended an inverter and battery bank that tracked

Janice S. commissioned an $80,000-plus solar system with photovoltaic panels and storage batteries for her home, finished at the end of 2022. Four months after completion she still hadn’t cleared the state inspection. She discovered that Regis Electric had changed equipment in a way that triggered the failure, but the company didn’t disclose those changes until she pressed them for an explanation. On top of that, Regis delayed resubmitting corrected drawings to the state, leaving her unable to claim expected tax deductions while the paperwork sat unresolved. The clearest takeaway from her experience: undisclosed equipment swaps and slow handling of required filings created months of extra hassle and delayed her tax benefits.

Lori hired Regis to install a residential solar array and found his team knowledgeable, conscientious, and courteous throughout the process. She ended up with a new solar field and walked away thrilled with the result. The standout memory was the crew’s professionalism and careful attention during the install.

Bruce hired Regis Electric LLC to handle a complete rewire of his home and to install an ENPHASE solar system. He discovered the team consistently went well beyond what was required to satisfy him, handling both the electrical overhaul and the solar installation with care. He ended up with a fully rewired house and a smoothly operating ENPHASE array, and walked away impressed by the company’s extra effort and attention to detail—those above-and-beyond touches are what stuck with him.

Brian needed a 220V circuit installed at his Kona Impact office and reached out to Regis Electric; David answered promptly and fit the job into their schedule. He ended up with Justin, a skilled technician, on site within a few days. Justin handled the wiring with clear expertise, finishing the work professionally and efficiently. He appreciated the quick turnaround and the quality of the install, and walked away completely satisfied—what lingered was the fast response and a tidy, trouble-free job.

Darrell Cavens arranged for the company to expand his existing solar setup—adding a battery system and extra panels on his home. They handled the whole process from permitting through installation, effectively taking the paperwork and coordination off his plate. The upgraded system is performing well, and what really stood out was the team's responsiveness: they answered calls and texts promptly and provided strong follow-up after the install. For him, the combination of a working battery upgrade and fast, ongoing communication was the most memorable part of the experience.

Teresa hired Regis and his team to outfit her home with solar panels and, later, to add a backup battery. She watched the crew handle both projects and came away impressed by how professional and thorough they were. She awarded them five stars.

Trish had an Enphase PV system on her home that stopped producing any power. A technician named Regis came out, determined the Envoy gateway needed replacing, and she ended up paying $1,300 for the swap. Three weeks after that repair, she discovered the system still produced no power.
