  We interviewed several Solar systems installers (some would not listen to our specific needs, others wanted to only install equipment they selected, some price themselves out of this world, etc.) and immediately, HESolar stood out. First, Mr. Derrick Hoffman came by the house and spent the time to evaluate our needs, assess the house and answer our many questions. Additionally, for the equipment we requested, the quote was very reasonable and fair. When we finally decided to take the plunge, within a few days, Derrick came by with two of his qualified technicians and in two days had the entire install completed to spec. They took care of all the paper work, coordinating with the electrical company and scheduling the entire job. Once the electrical company came by to check the install, we went solar. As we had anticipated, Derrick and Eric Hoffman were punctual, professional and accommodating when needed. We cannot recommend them enough. It is so rare to find contractors who care about their projects and make sure all aspects are done properly and completely. We will be sure to recommend them to all our friends and business partners. Kudos. Update Dec. 29, 2019: After a few months using our new solar system and evaluating the power output and storage, we decided to add 12 Panasonic solar panels @340W and one extra Tesla PowerWall 2 battery. Again, Derrick listened to our needs and provided the most elegant solution for the install. Since we suspected our storage needs will increase during the first install with 2 PowerWall 2 Tesla batteries, the Hoffman brothers had the foresight to build the battery concrete slab for 3 batteries. Made it easy to install the 3rd one. Furthermore, our original SolarEdge inverter would clip at around 10KW production or so while we were producing up to 14KW. Derrick had a great solution, he offered to swap the original inverter for a bigger new one for a reasonable price rather than wasting the one we had. We now rarely have to depend on the grid (PEC) and once we have 100% battery storage power during the day, we can make it on batteries overnight easily. We highly recommend the Hoffman brothers, Derrick and Eric and their professional crew. As usual, they came by on time, they had all the necessary material and equipment needed, did a stellar install and thorough cleanup at the end. Oh, how much we appreciate professionals who love their job, take pride and ownership of the job and charge an honest and fair price. Thank you.

  We got bids from 4 solar companies, but HE Solar outshined the competition from the get-go. Not only are they a local, family owned & operated business (which matters to us), but the brothers are both certified electricians who grew up working with their father's electrical company - they KNOW electricity. But what really sold us on HE is that they have been putting solar products to the test in our region for many years, so they know which products perform best under that hot central Texas summer sun, whereas the other companies seemed to just be pushing their preferred brand of solar panels. HE Solar helped us customize our arrays & plans until we were sure we would have the best set up for decades to come. They gave their HONEST professional opinion about batteries/storage (which was wait another year or two because the technology is about to make another leap) rather than just sell us what was currently available to make a little extra profit. They were also very knowledgeable & helpful in helping us get all the financial incentives available so we would get the most bang for our solar buck. The installation was a seamless process. HE runs a well oiled machine. They & their crews are professional, considerate, thorough and they left our home spick & span. They're so dedicated, they didn't even let a few inches of rare Austin snow slow them down and they finished the installation on schedule. We've had the solar system going for over a year now and we are THRILLED with it. We're saving money on energy already! The HE Solar guys hooked us up with Solar Edge monitoring so that we can maximize our system. During peak production last summer, when our bills for running the AC constantly in past years exceeded $220/mo, with the solar system, we actually earned a credit on our electricity bills from May through July! (We have NET metering with Pedernales Electric Coop) We cannot recommend HE Solar highly enough - go with these guys & you will be happy customers too.

  I chose the Hoffman family for my solar/battery project because of these great reviews, and for their complete lack of pushy, slimy sales people. I was especially impressed after they first installed my panels when there was one detail which I didn't think was visually perfect, and they offered to redo the whole installation or whatever I wanted to do to make it right. Luckily it was a fairly minor fix, which they accomplished the next day. They really know how to run a business, and their technical expertise is outstanding.
