"Kapili Roofing Daniel Nakamura promptly responded to my request to have roof inspected, in spite of his heavy workload because of a wind storm. He inspected roof and noted the dislodged panels were from under two solar panels. He asked that I contact the solar panel contractor and have the solar panel removed and he would coordinate to have his roofers replace panels once the solar panels were removed. Once I obtained date/time for Solar Panel removal, Kapili roofing coordinated their workmen to come and replace roofing panels. Whole operation to have Solar Panel removed and Roofing Panels Repaired/Replace took only about 2 hours to complete. In the meantime the Kapili roofers also repaired three smaller shingles with no extra cost. Kapili Roofers were friendly, professional, and very efficient workers. Only negative comment I have is that their prices are on the high end, but I found it was worth it."

"Pipeline Plumbing Oahu L.L.C. is hands down the best choice when it comes to replacing a water heater in Oahu. Their team was prompt, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. From the initial inspection to the final installation, everything was smooth and hassle-free. They answered all my questions patiently and made sure I understood how to operate the new unit. The craftsmanship and attention to detail were top-notch, and they even cleaned up the area perfectly afterward. It's rare to find such reliability and quality these days. I highly recommend them for any plumbing needs—truly five-star service all around!"

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

The best solar panels to withstand hail are those rated UL 61730. These solar panels are certified to withstand hailstones up to 3 inches in diameter and travel at speeds up to 88 mph. IP68 solar panels are the next most resilient solar panel. Solar panels without these ratings can handle hail up to 1 inch in diameter that travels up to 50 miles per hour. If you live in an area with frequent or severe hailstorms, purchasing UL 61730 solar panels is often worth the investment.

Insurance companies aren’t against solar panels, but they may have concerns about the risks and costs of insuring solar. The type of policy, where you live, and the insurance company itself matter. Extreme weather can damage solar panels, and faulty installation or electrical malfunctions pose a fire risk—this, in turn, can increase insurance company liability and payouts. However, you’re likely to keep coverage as long as you have a pro install the solar system, keep it maintained, can pass a solar panel inspection, and update your homeowners policy to include solar.

  • Installing a new electrical meter box

  • Replacing your meter base

  • Replacing your service entrance cable 

The cost to install or upgrade an electrical meter box ranges from $100 to $650, including $50 to $250 for the unit. The meter base passes the power from your electric company to your panel. The cost to replace a meter base is roughly $50 to $250. 

Service entrance cables are electrical cables with multiple wires, bringing power from electrical companies to residential buildings. The cost to replace a service entrance cable ranges roughly from $1,000 to $1,500.

Solar panels have a life span between 10 and 40 years, depending on the type of panel. For example, monocrystalline panels can last up to 40 years, while thin-film ones only last between 10 and 20 years. The longevity also comes down to keeping up with solar panel repairs and their related costs .

Yes, it is possible to install solar panels on a tar and gravel roof, but it is not the ideal roofing material for a solar installation. The process requires roof penetrations to install the solar racking system. While installers will seal these penetrations, they still increase the risk of leaks. This risk is higher on tar and gravel roofs, which are often flat. Flat roofs are more prone to leaks than sloped roofs because they can pool water during heavy rain and hold snow for longer periods, exposing the roof to more moisture.
