Metta Electric

Metta Electric is a Maui-based electrical contractor and solar PV installer founded in 2017 by Kyle Kramer, headquartered at 353 Hanamau Street in Kahului. The company name reflects an explicit operating philosophy that Kramer describes as bringing mindfulness to the electrical construction and solar industry, a positioning that is unusual in a trade more often defined by speed and margin than intention. What our research team found compelling is that the philosophy appears to be backed by the underlying contractor data rather than purely marketing language.

Metta Electric holds Hawaii Electrical Contractor license CT-36334 and has earned a BuildZoom score of 117, which places the company in the top one percent of all 3,768 licensed contractors in Hawaii. That score is calculated on licensing history, complaint record, and permitted project volume rather than self-reported metrics. Public permit records show 214 permitted projects, including 91 completed in the past three years, with crews working across Lahaina, Paia, Kihei, Haiku, Makawao, and Kula in addition to the Kahului base. For a Maui-only operator, that geographic spread covers essentially every population center on the island.

The service mix runs deeper than solar alone. Metta Electric designs and installs residential and commercial solar PV systems, executes underground electrical service installations for clean utility hookups, handles LED lighting retrofits, and performs general electrical work that complements its solar practice. That electrician-first identity matters in Hawaii, where Maui Electric Company interconnection requirements, advanced inverter compliance, and curtailment rules demand a builder who understands the electrical side of a system as deeply as the photovoltaic side. Battery-coupled systems and self-supply configurations are part of the standard Hawaii project profile, and Metta Electric works in that environment daily.

The verified customer record is concise but unblemished. Metta Electric maintains a perfect 5.0-star Google rating across 65 reviews, with a Better Business Bureau presence and Yelp and Facebook profiles that echo the same pattern. For Maui homeowners who prioritize a small, owner-led team with documented electrical depth and a spotless contractor track record over a national brand, Metta Electric is a credible top-tier option.

With a composite score of 75.0 out of 100, Metta Electric holds the third-ranked position in Hawaii for 2026.
