Many Hawaii homeowners have added solar to the roofs of their homes as a financial investment. It is important to keep in mind that the microclimates that exist on the island can alter the amount that sunlight reaches certain parts. A site survey is essential to ensure accurate production. Sunrun will coordinate with engineers on the island after the site survey is completed to finalize your system design.
