Residential Solar Installation for Maui Homes
Residential solar installation on Maui should start with your home, your energy use, and what you actually want your system to accomplish. System size, equipment, battery storage, roof conditions, and even how you plan to use electricity in the future can all change what makes sense.
Solar-HI Maui starts with the home instead of a predetermined package. Damon Glastetter has been installing solar in Hawaii since 2006, and our approach is still straightforward: understand what you need first, then design the system around it.
What Goes Into a Residential Solar Installation on Maui?
Two Maui homes on the same street may need completely different solar systems.
Your roof size and orientation, shade, household electricity use, future energy needs, existing equipment, battery goals, and budget all play a role.
That's why we don't begin with a standard number of solar panels or a prebuilt equipment package.
We look at the property and how you actually use electricity, then size and design the system around those needs. We also work across multiple solar and battery platforms, including Franklin, with experience across Tesla, Enphase, Sol-Ark, and SIG Energy.
The goal is to fit the equipment to your home — not your home to the equipment.
What Kind of Solar Solution Do You Need?
Residential Solar Panels
Starting with solar for the first time? We'll design a residential solar panel system around your roof, household electricity use, goals, and budget.
Battery Storage
Want to store more of the energy your system produces or add backup capability? We'll evaluate your home and existing solar setup before recommending battery storage.
EV Charging
Own an EV or planning to buy one? We install home EV charging designed around your vehicle and home's electrical setup.
Solar System Upgrades & Replacement
Already have solar that's aging or underperforming? We'll evaluate what you have and help you determine whether upgrading, expanding, or replacing it makes more sense.
Reroofing With Solar
Replacing your roof with solar panels already installed? We'll help you compare reinstalling the existing equipment with upgrading or replacing the system.
Already Have Solar? You May Have More Than One Option.
If your solar system is aging or underperforming, replacing everything isn't always the first answer.
We'll look at what you already have and help you determine whether it makes more sense to keep it, upgrade certain equipment, add battery storage, or replace the system.
The goal is simple:
keep what still works and change what makes sense.
Know What Your Solar System Actually Costs
The cost of solar installation on Maui depends on the system itself — including size, equipment, battery storage, roof conditions, and other project requirements.
That's why one total number doesn't tell you much about what you're actually buying.
Our proposals break pricing down line by line so you can see what's included, what's driving the cost, and how different choices affect your total investment.
We're not going to promise that we'll be the cheapest solar company on Maui.
We'd rather show you exactly what you're paying for and why.
Who's Behind Your Solar Installation?
Damon Glastetter has been installing solar in Hawaii since 2006 and founded Jackson Electric, LLC in 2012.
He's personally involved throughout every Solar-HI project, from understanding what you want the system to accomplish through the installation itself.
When you're choosing a Maui solar installer, that direct involvement matters. The recommendations you're getting are connected to the actual work being done on your home — not just the sale.

Frequently Asked
How much does solar installation cost on Maui?
It depends on system size, equipment, battery storage, roof conditions, electrical requirements, and what you want the system to accomplish. We provide line-item proposals so you can see what's driving the price rather than receiving one unexplained number.
What does a Maui solar installation include?
A residential solar installation typically includes system design, permitting, equipment, physical installation, and commissioning. Battery storage, EV charging, or existing-system upgrades may also be part of the project depending on the home.
How many solar panels do I need for my Maui home?
There's no standard number. Your electricity use, roof space, sun exposure, equipment, and energy goals all affect system size. We design around your actual home and usage rather than starting with a predetermined panel count.
Can I add battery storage to my existing solar system on Maui?
Possibly. We'll first look at your existing solar equipment, inverter, electrical setup, and compatibility before recommending a battery.
Should I replace an older solar system or keep it?
That depends on its age, condition, output, equipment, and what you want from the system going forward. If your system is aging or underperforming, we'll evaluate what's already installed before recommending an upgrade or replacement.
Ready to Find the Right Solar Solution for Your Home?
Solar installation on Maui isn't just about putting panels on a roof. It's about figuring out what makes sense for your home now — and what will continue to make sense years from now.
