MEET DOUG MYCKO · OWNER, SOLARMAN

I live off-grid.
I know what’s
riding on
your system.

The refrigerator. The water pump. The lights after sunset. Solar gets personal when it powers your home. It powers mine, too.

Let’s talk about your system ↗My story ↓

SOLAR IS PART OF MY EVERYDAY LIFE

Good advice starts with understanding how you live.

I’m Doug Mycko, owner of SolarMan Consulting, LLC. I help people on the Big Island and throughout Hawaiʻi plan off-grid solar systems, choose equipment and work through problems with the systems they already have.

I live off-grid in Hawaiian Acres. Battery storage, cloudy weather and generator backup are part of my own life. I understand why you want to know whether your system will carry you through the night—and what happens when tomorrow brings more rain.

That’s where our conversation starts: your home, your equipment and what you need to power. A water pump, air conditioning or another refrigerator can change the plan. I want those details on the table before we choose the hardware.

My goal is straightforward: help you understand your system and put together equipment that makes sense for the way you use power.

WHAT I BRING TO YOUR PROJECT

From the first questions
to the details that matter.

01 / PLAN & EQUIP

Build around your needs.

Panels, batteries, inverters and controls need to work together. I help you think through your loads, storage needs and equipment choices for a new system or an upgrade.
