Sun-to-Panel ROI

Model your solar payback with Hawaiʻi-accurate assumptions.

Hawaiian residential electric rates are roughly four times the mainland average, and Big Island sun hours are real. Move the sliders to see how a rooftop PV system pencils out on your roof — using daily kWh production, monthly bill offset, payback period, and twenty-year net savings.

Estimates use $3.50/W installed before incentives, the 30% federal Residential Clean Energy Credit, an 85% system derate for inverter, soiling, and wiring losses, and a flat retail rate. Real projects vary with HELCO interconnection class, roof orientation, shading, and battery scope. We hand you a written number after a site visit — not a guess.

Quick answers

The questions Big Island homeowners actually ask us.

Answer-first. No marketing fluff. If your question isn't here, the full set lives on the FAQ page.

01Do you serve Hilo and Kona?
We serve the east side of the Big Island — Pāhoa, Hilo, Keaau, Volcano, Mountain View, and the Puna District. Kona side is outside our standard service area, though we'll quote project-by-project for the right job.
02What EV chargers do you install?
Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint, Emporia, JuiceBox, Wallbox, and Grizzl-E are the brands we install most. We also handle universal NEMA 14-50 outlet installs for renters or anyone who hasn't picked a charger yet.
03Are you licensed and insured?
Yes — licensed Hawaiʻi electrical contractor with current general liability and workers-compensation coverage. We email a Certificate of Insurance to any homeowner, property manager, or HOA on request.
04How long does a 200A panel upgrade take?
One day on the wire side, then five to fifteen business days waiting on HELCO disconnect-reconnect scheduling. Lava-zone, owner-pole, or 400A jobs may add a permit cycle.
05Do you handle solar permits and HELCO interconnection?
Yes — end-to-end. We pull every Hawaiʻi County electrical permit and run HELCO net energy metering, customer grid supply, and smart export paperwork. You sign once.

Signature pitch

Built for lava-zone homes, salt-air coastlines, and the storms that test them both.

Every Hale Kanaka install accounts for the realities of Big Island life: humid trade winds, corrosive coastal mist, weak service drops in rural Puna, and the hurricane seasons that demand standby power that actually starts. We don't build to mainland defaults. We build for here.

Why locally owned matters

Hawaiʻi-island wiring is its own discipline.

A mainland electrician sees a 200-amp panel as a 200-amp panel. We see what HELCO is actually delivering at your meter, how the ocean spray off the Kapoho coast is corroding your hub, and which 2010-era Aloha-Built panels have already failed in your subdivision. That context shows up in every install.

  • HELCO-coordinated service upgrades and net-metering interconnects
  • Marine-grade hardware standard on coastal jobs, not an upcharge
  • Hurricane-prep generator sizing tuned to Big-Island load profiles
  • Lava-zone aware materials selection and grounding strategy

How a project starts

Estimate → permit → install → walk-through.

Every project — whether it's a kitchen circuit or a 12-kW solar interconnect — moves through the same four-stage process so you always know what's next.

1. Free estimate

Call, text, or use the contact form. We schedule a visit, document existing conditions, and email a written scope with line-item pricing. No surprise fees, no high-pressure script.

2. Permit & plan

For panel, service, solar, generator, and EV installs we pull the Hawaiʻi County permit, coordinate HELCO scheduling, and confirm load calculations against your existing service.

3. Install day

We protect your home, communicate every shut-down window, and use marine-grade hardware on every coastal job. Clean work areas, photographed before-and-afters, labeled panel directory.

4. Walk-through & sign-off

Joint inspection of every device, a photo-documented panel schedule, and a written warranty. We don't leave until you can turn the lights off — and on — yourself.
