Solar Installation for Wailea Homes
A Local Solar Installer Who Treats Your Home Like It's the Only Job on the Schedule
Solar-HI serves Wailea homeowners from our base in Kihei — close enough that Damon is on-site, not managing the job by phone from the mainland. Every system we install is designed from scratch for the specific property: roof orientation, shading patterns, energy consumption, and what the homeowner actually wants to accomplish. There is no default package, and there is no one-size-fits-all equipment spec.
Damon Glastetter has been doing this work since 2006. Jackson Electric, LLC has been operating on Maui since 2012. When you call, you reach the person who will be on your roof.
What a Custom Solar System Looks Like for a Wailea Property
Wailea homes vary considerably — in size, roof geometry, energy load, and what the homeowner wants from a solar investment. That variation is exactly why we design every system individually rather than quoting from a product sheet.
A custom solar design for your home accounts for:
- Roof layout and available panel placement, including complex or multi-plane rooflines
- Your household's actual energy usage, not a regional average
- Grid interconnection requirements under your Hawaiian Electric rate structure
- Whether battery storage belongs in the design now or as a future addition
- Equipment selection from a multi-brand lineup rather than a single manufacturer's catalog
We work with panels and inverters from multiple manufacturers, and our battery storage experience spans Franklin, Tesla, Enphase, Sol-Ark, and SIG Energy. The right equipment for your home is the equipment that fits your home — not whatever a national sales organization has in its current inventory.
Transparent Pricing and No Sales Pressure
Every quote from Solar-HI comes with line-item pricing. You see what you're paying for — panels, inverters, racking, electrical work, permitting — not a single number with nothing behind it. If something in the quote doesn't make sense, ask us. We'll explain it.
We don't run door-to-door sales teams, and we don't use "free solar" lead-generation ads as a front for high-pressure financing conversations. Our business runs on referrals and repeat calls from homeowners who had a good experience. That's the model we've built since 2012, and it shapes how every project is handled.
Solar-HI is also a listed contractor on the Hawai'i Green Infrastructure Authority's GEM$ on-bill financing program — a state-administered option that lets qualifying homeowners finance a solar system through their Hawaiian Electric bill. We can walk you through how it works and whether it fits your situation.

Common Questions About Solar in Wailea
Does Solar-HI serve Wailea, or is your service area limited to Kihei?
We're based in Kihei and serve Wailea regularly. The two markets are close, and Damon is personally involved in every installation regardless of where the property is located.We're based in Kihei and serve Wailea regularly.

Roof geometry, energy load, and interconnection requirements all scale with the home. A more complex property benefits from a system designed specifically for it rather than a standard package — which is why we don't offer one. Every system we quote is designed for that specific address.Roof geometry, energy load, and interconnection requirements all scale with the home.

Yes, and it's worth discussing during the design phase. Battery storage can be integrated into a new system from the start or added later, but planning for it upfront typically produces a cleaner installation and better economics. We work with several battery platforms and will recommend what fits your home and goals.Yes, and it's worth discussing during the design phase.

Age, equipment model, and current output are the main factors. Systems over 15 years old often have components that are no longer supported or performing at spec. We can evaluate an existing system and give you an honest read on whether repair, upgrade, or full replacement makes the most sense.Age, equipment model, and current output are the main factors.
