Frequently Asked Questions
Can STI Solar address my roof leak or ventilation issues when installing panels in Lihue?
Absolutely. We understand that local homes often face issues like skylight leaks or poor attic ventilation, which can compromise a new solar installation. Our team includes expertise in roofing alongside solar. Before any installation, we conduct a thorough roof assessment. If we find leaks, damaged areas, or inadequate ventilation, we can coordinate the necessary repairs or upgrades. This ensures your roof is structurally sound and properly ventilated to support your solar system for the long term, protecting your investment and your home.
What does 'adding to an existing system' involve, and is it common in Hawaii?
Adding to an existing system is a common request from Hawaii homeowners whose energy needs have grown, perhaps with a new electric vehicle or pool. This service involves seamlessly integrating new solar panels or shingles with your current setup. Our NABCEP-certified technicians evaluate your existing inverter capacity, electrical panel, and roof space to design a compatible expansion. This is a practical way to increase your energy production without replacing your entire system, helping you further reduce your reliance on the grid.
As an established company, what kind of support do you offer after my solar installation is complete?
Our relationship with you continues long after installation. We provide dedicated solar system maintenance and repair services to ensure your investment performs optimally year after year. This includes monitoring system output, cleaning recommendations for Kauai's environment, and troubleshooting any performance issues. With over 350 installations since 2008, we have the experience to maintain all major system brands. Our goal is to ensure your system delivers the promised energy savings and peace of mind for its entire lifespan.
