With over 300 five-star Google reviews and 300+ reviews across all platforms, 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.

We serve communities across Maui including Kahului, Wailuku, Kihei, Lahaina, Makawao, Paia, Pukalani, Haiku, Wailea, Kaanapali, Napili, and Kapalua.

Smart Electric Panels and Help for Orphaned Solar Systems on Maui
Beyond new solar and battery installs, we help Maui homeowners modernize their electrical systems and take care of solar systems other companies left behind.
Smart Electric Panels
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.

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 Solar Incentives and Utility Programs
Maui homeowners may qualify for federal and 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 Net Metering
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 Renewable Energy Technologies Income Tax Credit
Hawaiʻi offers a state income tax credit for qualifying solar PV installations, subject to caps and requirements. The credit amount depends on your system type and capacity. Be sure to review current state guidelines or consult a tax professional to confirm your eligibility.
Hawaiian Electric Smart Renewable Energy Export / Non-Export
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.
BYOD Plus for Batteries
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.
