Kapolei solar PV installers use ROH Sec. 18-5.10 expedited clean-energy permitting with Building and Electrical Code review and solar-ready new construction rules.
Kapolei has heavy solar adoption across Second City subdivisions, commercial rooftops at Ka Makana Alii and nearby warehouses, and UH West Oahu facilities. ROH Sec. 18-5.10 provides expedited permit processing for qualifying clean energy projects, including residential solar PV up to 20 kilowatts. Installations also fall under ROH Chapter 16 Building Code and Chapter 17 Electrical Code. New single- and two-family Kapolei dwellings follow a solar readiness provision in Honolulu Building Code Sec. R408 reserving 5 kW AC of PV-ready roof space. A municipal solar PV requirement for certain city buildings sits in ROH Sec. 2-38.1. The state framework is HRS Chapter 269 sections 101 to 111.
Unpermitted Kapolei PV work can require retroactive permits, electrical corrections, inspection fees, and interconnection delays with HECO on commercial rooftops.
