Woodbury Inspection Group Inc. has a reputation for being very
particular with all aspects of construction and related installations.
Photovoltaic systems are no exception. We expect the best and
settle for nothing less. It is for this reason that we chose Provision
Technologies to install a net metering system on one our
personal residences in Kamuela.
Three
things sold us on Provision.
Product:
Provision’s product was far superior to that of other competitors.
The Sunpower equipment installed was a huge selling factor. It
was more efficient that other brands, had better warranties, and
provided more installation flexibility.
Service:
Douglas Bath, Marco Mangelsdorf and Jessica Shweig ensured that
our questions were answered in a timely manner and definitively.
Through every aspect of the transaction Provision was professional
and conscientious.
Installation:
As consulting inspectors we know what defines a good installation.
Provision kept the site clean and organized and ensured that every
aspect of the installation was meticulous. The workmanship of
the installing electrical sub-contractors that Provision used
exceeded our expectations. The performance of our system tells
the rest of the story. We have had 9 months of continuous total
offset of our electrical usage. We expect to have full return
on our investment in roughly 5 years and have added value to our
home while doing our part to offset our carbon foot print. Go
green! Go Solar! Go Provision!

Last year I installed a ProVision Technologies solar electric
system on our auto dealership, Island Dodge in Kahului and I'm
very glad I did so. ProVision provided skilled design work, top
quality components and coordinated the installation with the electrical
contractor. I was very impressed with the professionalism of the
staff at ProVision, and would recommend you highly to those who
may be considering solar electric for their home or business.
I
was quite satisfied with the 32 kW system I installed in 2003.
So satisfied, in fact, that I decided to expand the system to
52 kW this year. The decision to install a solar electric system
not only made sense from an environmental standpoint, it also
made good financial sense. This an investment that will pay for
itself in a short number of years, and continue to provide clean,
green power to our business for decades to come.
I
can tell you that I carefully considered this investment, and
I am completely confident that I made the right choice. I would
certainly recommend ProVision Technologies for their competent
staff and commitment to customer satisfaction. If a business owner
is interested in pursuing an excellent investment, they should
consider installing a ProVision solar electric system.
Sincerely,
Roy Kitagawa
Owner, Island Dodge
Dear Marco:
I would like to thank you for assisting Roberta and I in the purchase
and installation of a solar photovoltaic net metering system for
our home in Hilo. We were very satisfied with all aspects of the
transaction. We found your staff to be extremely knowledgeable,
professional, and committed to our satisfaction. ProVision was
conscientious in designing the system, selecting the best quality
components, coordinating the installation with the electrical
contractor, and ensuring our complete satisfaction with the system
once it was installed.
We are extremely happy with the performance of our system, and
enjoy its many benefits, especially when we receive our monthly
electric bill that shows our savings. We would not hesitate to
recommend ProVision to others who are interested in experiencing
the benefits of solar electricity. As I mentioned to you before,
I would be pleased to speak with others who are considering a
solar photovoltaic electric system.
Shine
on ProVision!
Very truly yours,
Newton J. Chu
Dear Mr. Mangelsdorf:
This letter of recommendation is to acknowledge the service and
attention, which the personnel at ProVision Technologies provided
to Hawaii Electric Light Company during and after the installation
of a 5.4 kW grid-connected photovoltaic system on our Engineering
Building in Kailua-Kona. The system was installed in December
2001.
As
this system is installed at a highly visible location at our Kailua-Kona
baseyard, the quality of the system and installation, provided
by ProVision recommended electrical contractor, needed to be exemplary.
ProVision Technologies provided the major components and design
for the system in a timely and professional manner. Though the
inverter, which was selected for the installation had some new
product problems, ProVision was very responsive in addressing
the situation with the manufacturer and in satisfactorily resolving
the inverter problems. Moreover, after the installation was complete,
ProVision personnel worked closely with us to make sure that the
PV system was operating at its peak efficiency.
I can wholeheartedly and without reservation recommend ProVision
Technologies as an eminently qualified and professional solar
design firm.
Sincerely,
Clyde H. Nagata, P.E.
Manager, HELCO Engineering Department
Dear
Marco:
I m taking this opportunity to let you know how pleased we are
with the ProVision solar electric system that was installed on
our facility last year. As a business owner here on the Big Island,
I'm looking for investments that make good economic sense and
offer high value. Our grid-connected photovoltaic system made
for a great investment and has dramatically lowered our electric
bill. Over each of the past several months our net kilowatt-hour
bill has been reduced to zero.
I
also want to commend you and ProVision for providing us with detailed
responses to our questions when we first considered installing
a solar electric system, the prompt follow through in arranging
for the installation and ProVision's supervision of the project
from to start to finish.
Being
one of the first Net Energy Metered solar electric pioneers here
in the state, we were excited to take advantage of this new program.
Our ProVision system has exceeded our expectations and we can
heartily recommend ProVision Technologies as a solar electric
system provider.
Aloha,
Jeff Mehring

To
Whom It May Concern,
This letter is wholly unsolicited. After my 3rd purchase at ProVision,
it really came home to me how pleasant and positive the experience
has been each time, and how on all countsservice, price and cordiality,
I've been well taken care of by everyone in the office.
In
particular, Marco mapped out a complete solar-electric system
for me, even though my purchase amounted to just a few panels
and components. He spent considerable time on several occasions
both advising and helping me understand how things work. He even
told me where to purchase certain components he didn't sell. I
had complete confidence that he had my best interests in mind
at all times.
I know there's lots of other small-volume solar consumers like
myself that do not as yet know about ProVision, and I'll not hesitate
to recommend ProVision to them when asked about a place to buy
solar-electric systems.
I
hope this letter is passed on up the corporate hierarchy so that
the efforts of ProVision to expand their market-share in the community
are fully supported by HELCO decision-makers.

Eliot Jay Rosen, QCSW

Dear
Mr. Bath:
We have always had exceptionally high electric rates here on Kauai.
We began thinking about a solar electric system and found ProVision
Technologies, Inc. You provided timely and high quality information
that allowed us to fairly assess that merits of the technology.
When
we decided to go ahead with project, ProVision supplied us not
only with the main components for the system, you also provided
all engineering services, vendor relations, and a competitive
bid between contractors for the installation. The installation
process seemed well coordinated and did not cause significant
disruption of our normal business.
In
this past year following the installation, ProVision had stayed
in contact with us and showed a real interest in assuring the
proper performance of our system. Frankly, I was a little hesitant
as you're located in Hilo and it's a difficult journey to get
to Kauai from there, but you've been more than responsive.
I am very pleased with the service and competence of ProVision
and highly recommend you to anyone interested in joining our efforts
towards a sustainable energy future.
Aloha,
Charles C. King
President, King auto center
To
Whom It May Concern:
Last year we purchased a photovoltaic solar electric system from
ProVision. ProVision and Marco Mangelsdorf in particular, listened
to our wants and needs, studied our structure, did a good careful
design, brought in competent skilled subcontractors, delivered on
time and in budget, and followed up well after the installation.
We remain very satisfied customers after several months of use.
We're happy to be saving a couple hundred dollars a month on the
electric bill, and we're continually finding ways to conserve electricity
inside the office, so we can get that bill down to around zero.
We're pleased to recommend ProVision to other clients on the Big
Island, and would be glad to answer questions about our system.
Sincerely,
Thomas Plum

Dear
Messrs Lee, May and Clarke,
I am taking the liberty of writing to you in this fashion in my
capacity as a HELCO customer and a stockholder in HEI. I have
enclosed this letter in another one addressed to ProVision (in
Hilo) and asked that they forward it to your respective offices.
Last
month we had a 3kW photovoltaic system (grid-connected, net-metered)
installed at our home in Kailua- Kona. It has been in operation
for three full weeks now and we are very happy with it. We have
not yet received our monthly HELCO bill and so we do not yet know
how it is effecting the bill financially. But, we have now produced
189 kWh of electricity and we are very happy about that.
The
particular reason for this letter is to compliment your staff
at ProVision, most especially Mr. Marco Mangelsdorf. Marco was
very helpful and very professional. He answered all of our questions,
provided us with literature and product information, and oversaw
the installation of the system. We are aware of the fact that
other companies claim that they can do it cheaper but we felt
more comfortable dealing with a thoroughly professional (and professionally
through) company. We were not as knowledgeable about electrical
contracting and the installation of PV systems as perhaps some
other people may be. But, we feel very confident that we avoided
many possible pitfalls and were happy that the permitting and
inspections proceeded so smoothly. We really do feel that Mr.
Mangelsdorf saved us a lot of potential problems and eased the
whole project considerably. This system represented a considerable
investment for us Over $23,000.00 so we were very anxious to have
it done well. We think that is was, and that Marco is a valuable
asset to your (our!) company.
We
look forward to many years of production from our PV system.
Sincerely,
Larry & Kathy Riggs
Kailua-Kona
Dear
Marco:
I want to take this opportunity to thank you for all the help
we received in choosing a complete solar system for our home.
Every one of your staff members was helpful and very knowledgeable.
You all took the time to make sure that every aspect of the system
matched our particular needs. When we needed specific electrical
engineering plans, you also referred us to Donald McLemore, an
excellent electrical engineer. Your prices were very competitive
as I shopped around a great deal. It was not only the price but
the great customer service that made our decision easy.
I
had many questions throughout the process of choosing and installing
our unit and you never failed to provide technical support in
a very positive and friendly manner. You spoke in a language that
I could understand! My husband and I both felt that you went above
and beyond the call of duty to insure that our job ran smoothly.
It was our first experience with solar and you made it very easy
and understandable for us.
We
know we made the right choice coming to ProVision Technologies
Inc., as we have been using our system for over a year now and
it is providing reliable power for our home. We also appreciate
the fact that ProVision has been there for us and will continue
to be there for us should we have any questions in the future.
We recognize that you are not the type of company that makes the
sale and then leaves people high and dry. That is a commodity
in today's solar market!
We
have referred you to many friends and will always highly recommend
you to anyone who is looking to provide solar energy for their
home. Thanks again for your outstanding products and service.
Regards,
Debra Romeo
