Independent Energy Hawaii installs home solar and batteries across Maui with our local Maui team, led by Maui General Manager Matt Johnson, from 400 Hana Hwy, Unit B, Kahului. A typical 8-10 kW system with one Tesla Powerwall 3 costs about $42,000-$48,500 cash before incentives, the same pricing as Oahu.
Most Maui systems are installed and running about 1-2 months after signing, typically, not guaranteed. Call (808) 460-6015 or request a quote online. Get a no-hassle estimate, site unseen; your flat-price proposal is confirmed after a site survey, then permitting begins. Maui Powerwall 3 customers may save $500, and eligible Lahaina-displaced families may save $2,500. Discounts may change and are confirmed at survey. See all prices and discounts.
Independent Energy Hawaii is proud to bring the same quality, transparency, and Aloha spirit that built our reputation on Oahu to homeowners across Maui. With over 300 five-star Google reviews and 2,000+ installations, we are a solar company Maui families can trust.
Maui's abundant sunshine and high electricity rates make solar panels one of the smartest investments for island homeowners. For solar panels Maui homeowners can count on for decades, our team handles every step - from property assessment and custom system design to permitting, installation, and utility interconnection. We serve communities across Maui including Kahului, Wailuku, Kihei, Lahaina, Makawao, Paia, Pukalani, Haiku, Wailea, Kaanapali, Napili, and Kapalua.
Maui homeowners can also add a Tesla Powerwall battery to store excess solar energy for nighttime use or outage protection. Pair your solar system with a home EV charger to charge your electric vehicle with clean energy and reduce your reliance on gasoline, depending on usage.
We also offer solar panel repair and maintenance on Maui - including panel cleaning, inverter diagnostics, and system troubleshooting - regardless of which company installed your system. Our commercial and multifamily solar installations are offered on Oahu, Maui and in Kona/West Hawaii, subject to inspection approval.

These examples from our project library show roof layout, panel placement and access considerations. Your Maui team confirms the design for your own property.
Your home. Your priorities.
Start with lower bills, add outage protection, or plan a connected whole-home system. These are starting points for a custom design, not fixed-price packages. We help you choose the right fit, not the biggest system.
Lower bills. The right starting point.
A straightforward solar installation sized around your roof and electricity use, not a preset package. Start with solar alone and leave room for future plans.
Keep the essentials powered.
Solar paired with Tesla Powerwall or Enphase batteries, designed around the loads you want to protect, from your home office to refrigeration and essential circuits.
Plan for the way you will live next.
Coordinate solar, batteries, EV charging, and smart-panel options in one design. Plan for future electrical needs without assuming you need every upgrade today.
Start now, expand later. Battery additions depend on equipment compatibility, electrical capacity, and current utility requirements. We can discuss that upgrade path before your solar installation.
Solar panels alone do not normally provide power during a grid outage. Battery backup duration depends on stored energy, selected loads, weather, and system design. Medical equipment needs a separate emergency plan; no home battery guarantees uninterrupted care.

Many older Maui homes have limited electrical service capacity, which can complicate solar, battery, and EV charger installations. A smart electric panel manages your loads intelligently, often avoiding a costly service upgrade while giving you app-based control over circuits, backup prioritization, and energy monitoring.
Learn about smart electric panels →If your original Maui installer closed, went out of business, or stopped servicing Hawaii, your system does not have to sit idle. Our SolarServe program welcomes orphaned and aging systems from all brands, starting with a Solar Check-Up so we know exactly what we are taking on before any repair work begins.
Explore SolarServe memberships →Maui homeowners may qualify for Hawaii state incentives, plus Hawaiian Electric programs that help maximize solar savings. Eligibility depends on your system design, tax situation, and current program rules, so we recommend confirming details with your tax advisor and utility.
Hawaiʻi's original net energy metering (NEM) program allowed solar customers to receive full retail credit for excess electricity sent back to the grid. NEM is now closed to new applicants, but existing participants remain grandfathered. New Maui homeowners can still benefit from successor programs like Customer Grid Supply Plus and Smart Export, which offer compensation for surplus solar production depending on your system configuration and energy goals.
Hawaiʻi offers a state income tax credit for qualifying solar PV installations, subject to caps and requirements. Homeowners buying in 2026 do not qualify for the expired federal residential credit. Review our Hawaii state tax credit guide and consult your tax professional.
Hawaiian Electric offers Smart Renewable Energy programs that let Maui homeowners choose how their excess solar energy is managed. Export programs send surplus power back to the grid, while non-export options store it for later use. The right choice depends on your energy goals, battery setup, and current utility rules.
Hawaiian Electric's Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Plus program offers incentives for homeowners who add battery storage to their solar system. BYOD Plus helps stabilize the grid while giving you backup power during outages. Note that the previous Battery Bonus program is now closed to new participants, so interested homeowners should apply under BYOD Plus instead.
Incentive and utility program details change frequently. The best way to understand what applies to your Maui home is to speak with our team. Get a free estimate and we will help you navigate available programs as part of your custom solar proposal.

You can find a lower price for solar on Maui. What is harder to find is a company whose price already includes the things that protect you for the next 25 years. Here is what is built into every system we install.
The crew on your Maui roof works for us, answers to us, and is trained to our standards. You never get a rotating cast of whoever was available that week.
A designation Tesla reserves for installers with a proven track record of quality installs and customer care. It is earned, not bought.
Panels, inverter, battery, roof penetrations, workmanship. We help manage manufacturer warranty claims and explain coverage through Solar Insure. Eligibility, exclusions and repair costs depend on the applicable warranty or policy.
When a hurricane or heavy weather hits Maui, our service team can help assess your system. On-site visits depend on safe conditions and scheduling, with storm-readiness support in SolarServe Premium.
Solar is a 25-year investment. Every new installation includes the first year of SolarServe Standard. Ongoing annual plans keep washing, monitoring and troubleshooting available, with repairs priced separately at member discounts.
We size systems conservatively and tell you what your panels will really produce, not the number that closes the sale. Realistic bill reduction beats a flashy proposal that underdelivers.
The cheapest system is the one that keeps working, keeps saving, and has a company behind it for decades. That is the system we build. Get a free estimate and see the difference in writing.
Vog, dust and salt can lower solar production over time. We recommend panel washing twice a year, more often near the ocean or coast. Cleaning needs depend on your property and exposure; production changes vary by system and conditions.
Vog is especially relevant on the Big Island. Maui and Oahu can also periodically experience vog during Kona winds, when winds shift away from the usual northeast trades and can carry volcanic haze toward the other islands.
Explore professional panel washing or SolarServe care. Plan inclusions vary; extra washing beyond your plan is separate.
