Hawaii Solar Panels | Build Own Solar Panel

I am moving to Hawaii and the house we are living in has independent electricity. (solar panels and gas powered generators.)

The system in the Hawaiian house has solar panels that charge a battery bank. If the sun doesn’t shine enough, the generator will kick on and provide the extra power needed. An inverter converts the DC voltage stored in the batteries to AC power that you plug into a wall outlet to use. Depending on the inverter, it should be exactly the same as the AC you buy from the electric company now, so anything that you currently plug in to use will work.

The exception is if they are using an inexpensive modified sine wave inverter, that doesn’t generate as clean power as a pure sine wave inverter. Some delicate electronics may have trouble running on it. You may want to ask the house owners which type of inverter it is. If they don’t know, ask them the model and you can easily look it up.

how thick is a roof?

Posted by admin

say, you’re building a house in Hawaii and you put solar panels down..how thick would a roof be? this is a really dumb question..but my friend asked and i figured id try and figure it out..anyone ahve any suggestions possibly?
2 inches for the depth ..they are applied ontop like shingles they overlap by 2 inches…idk..thats all the info i got from her..

The roof should be able to support any appropriate roofing materials. Solar panels would be supported by the trusses/rafters, not the sheathing.

Local code is going to dictate minimum requirements, so if you can pick out a city, you can check to see if they have that info on their website.
