Permits and Regulations
On Maui, you’ll need a permit to install solar panels on your home or business. This makes sure that your solar setup is safe and follows the local building and electrical rules
- Building Permits: You need this permit for the actual installation of the solar panels. It checks that the way you plan to mount and secure the panels meets the local building standards. You’ll need to share detailed plans with the Maui County Department of Public Works to get this permit.
- Electrical Permits: This is about the electrical side of your installation. It ensures that all the wiring and electrical connections are safe and up to code, following national and local electrical standards
- Connecting to the Grid: If you want your solar system to be connected to the main power grid and use net metering (which lets you sell excess power back to the grid), you’ll need to sign an agreement with Hawaiian Electric Company (HECO). This sets out how your system connects to the grid and the rules for metering.

Who We Work With
FAQs Solar Panels
We recommend high-efficiency solar panels from trusted manufacturers that are designed to withstand Maui’s unique climate, including strong sun, salt air, and occasional high winds. Our top picks include brands known for their durability and performance in coastal environments.
A battery storage system is not required but highly recommended in Maui. It ensures you have power during outages and can store excess energy generated during the day for use at night or on cloudy days, maximizing your energy independence and savings.
During low sunlight or at night, solar panels produce less or no energy. With a battery storage system, you can use stored energy from sunny periods. Without storage, your system will draw energy from the grid, ensuring you have continuous power.
Solar panels in Maui require minimal maintenance, mainly periodic cleaning to remove dust and debris. Repairs are rare but may be necessary for inverters or damaged panels.
Before installation, we assess your roof’s condition and structure to ensure it can support solar panels. If necessary, reinforcements will be recommended to safely accommodate the weight and structure of the solar panel system, ensuring your roof’s integrity and the system’s performance.
