Our story

Honu means protection, longevity, and peace — values we build into every project.

Founded in 2020 by U.S.-based builders and energy specialists, Honu Home delivers solar-first home upgrades that feel calm, coordinated, and trustworthy. We respect your space, your time, and your financial goals.

Mission & philosophy

We believe solar is the financial engine that unlocks the home improvements you deserve. By coordinating all trades under one roof, we protect your investment and your daily life.

Protection like the Honu

The sea turtle symbolizes shelter and longevity. We design every project to protect your roof, electrical, and family comfort for decades.

Calm, human communication

You get a single point of contact, proactive updates, and documentation designed for clarity — not jargon.

One accountable contractor

Solar, roofing, interiors, exteriors, and repairs delivered under unified management and warranties.

Respect for accessibility

WCAG 2.2 AA digital experiences, documented scopes, and on-site practices that welcome every homeowner.

Honu symbolism

The Honu represents safe passage and endurance. We mirror that by planning each project so your family can move through construction with confidence and clarity.

  • Protection: roofing, electrical, and finishes are coordinated to safeguard your home.
  • Longevity: we specify materials that stand up to salt air, wind, and sun.
  • Peace: clear communication, respectful crews, and tidy job sites reduce disruption.

What this means for you

  • One contract, one project manager, and unified warranty coverage.
  • Accessible documentation you can reference long after the project ends.
  • Respectful crews who treat your home and neighbors with care.

Credentials & coverage

Licensed, insured, and experienced across solar, roofing, and remodeling. We document every permit and inspection for your records.

  • Licensed electrical and roofing partners with regional expertise.
  • Workmanship warranties aligned to manufacturer requirements and PPA terms.
  • Permitting, inspections, and close-out packages shared in accessible formats.

Community commitments

  • Local hires and apprenticeships to grow skilled trades in our service areas.
  • Respectful job sites that minimize disruption to neighbors and shared spaces.
  • Honoring local communities and landscapes in the way we plan and build.

Accessibility & privacy first

We build and communicate inclusively: WCAG 2.2 AA standards online, clear labels on-site, and respectful data handling.

  • Accessible documents, alt text for photos, and high-contrast site plans.
  • Respect for privacy — your project details stay between you and the Honu team.
  • Job sites with clear walk paths, tactile warnings, and safe temporary lighting.

How we communicate

  • Weekly updates with photos, transcripts available upon request.
  • Clear labeling of shutoffs, panel schedules, and emergency contacts.
