Haleakala Solar, founded in 1977 by Jim Whitcomb, is a prominent solar energy company based in Hawaii. Starting with a pivotal moment when Whitcomb discovered how to create hot water from the sun, he quickly became an innovator in the solar industry. Initially launched as Haleakala Resources, the company gained momentum during the oil crisis of the 1970s when the demand for renewable energy surged. Due to Whitcomb's dedication and professionalism, Haleakala Solar became the leading installer of solar hot water systems in Maui and expanded operations across Hawaii.

Not only does the company focus on installation, but they also prioritize service and maintenance, ensuring all solar energy systems operate efficiently. Their extensive services include solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, solar battery storage, and roofing solutions tailored to customer needs.

The company promotes sustainability and environmental responsibility, aligning with Whitcomb’s earlier commitment to preserving Hawaii's natural beauty.
