Home Battery Backup Sales, Installation and BYOD Plus Rebates, Honolulu, HI
Turn Your Daytime Sun Into Nighttime Power.
OceanHead Solar and Electric installs home battery backup systems across Oahu, turning the energy your solar panels already generate during the day into power you actually get to use after dark, instead of sending it back to the grid for pennies.
Pair a new or existing solar system with a battery and you keep your power through outages, too. Right now, HECO's BYOD Plus program pays qualifying homeowners $2,000 to $4,000 upfront just for adding one.
OceanHead Solar and Electric is a licensed Hawaii solar and electrical contractor (LIC# C-33164), NABCEP certified, and rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau. We install and service Tesla Powerwall 3, Canadian Solar EP Cube 2.0, and Enphase battery systems.
Stop Selling Your Power for Pennies and Buying It Back at Full Price.
Here's what happens without a battery. Your panels make the most power in the middle of the day, when you're usually not home to use it, so it gets exported to the grid and credited back at a rate that's often well below what you pay for electricity. Then at night, when you actually need power, you're buying it back from HECO at full retail price. You made the electricity. You just don't get to keep it.
A battery closes that loop. OceanHead Solar and Electric installs the battery, the hardware that manages the handoff between panels, battery, and home, and the monitoring system that shows you exactly what's happening in real time, so the power you generate in the afternoon is the power running your house that night, not power you sold cheap and bought back expensive.
If the grid goes down, a properly installed battery system switches over automatically. What stays powered depends on how the system's sized, some homeowners back up just the essentials, others back up the whole house.
Can I Add a Battery to My Current Solar Panels?
Yes, in most cases. Home battery systems can be added to solar panels that are already installed, whether OceanHead Solar and Electric installed them or a different company did.
The main factors are your inverter type, your system's age, and how your panels are currently wired into your home. This matters beyond convenience: existing solar owners are exactly who HECO's BYOD Plus rebate of up to $4,000 is built for.

How Much Is HECO's BYOD Plus Rebate Worth?
Up to $4,000, paid directly to you, just for adding a battery to your solar system. HECO's BYOD Plus program pays qualifying Oahu homeowners $2,000 per battery upfront, doubling to $4,000 for households that qualify as low to moderate income, plus ongoing monthly bill credits at your full retail rate.
If you already have solar panels on your roof, you're a candidate for BYOD Plus, regardless of who installed them. OceanHead Solar and Electric handles the entire application through HECO's Customer Interconnection Tool.
