Ewa Gentry homeowners installing rooftop solar PV must follow ROH Sec. 18-5.10 expedited clean-energy permitting with building and electrical code review.
Ewa Gentry's wide sunny roofs on the Ewa Plain are ideal for rooftop solar, and the subdivision has some of the highest PV adoption rates on Oahu. ROH Sec. 18-5.10 provides expedited permit processing for qualifying clean energy projects including residential solar PV up to 20 kilowatts. Installations are also reviewed under ROH Chapter 16 Building Code and Chapter 17 Electrical Code. New single- and two-family dwellings in Honolulu follow a solar readiness provision in Building Code Sec. R408 reserving 5 kW AC of PV space. The state framework sits in HRS Chapter 269 sections 101 to 111.
Unpermitted PV work may require retroactive permits, inspections, electrical corrections, and HECO interconnection delays on Gentry rooftops.
