Why are many Hawaii residents joining the solar energy movement? It's no secret that the state enjoys large amounts of sunshine year-round, so it makes perfect sense to generate solar energy from this clean, renewable resource.
The Solar Energy Industries Association ranked Hawaii 14th in the U.S. for solar energy. This ranking is based on a variety of factors, including the number of homes powered (337,477) by the installed solar capacity, the percentage of electricity the state gets from solar (13.12%), and the number of solar jobs (2,484).1 The good news is that prices in the state have fallen 40% over the last five years.1
We've compiled some solar incentive information for residents of Hawaii who want to take advantage of current prices. Installing solar power can provide utility bill savings over time and is a positive step toward protecting the environment.
Net metering enables some solar system owners to feed excess renewable energy from their systems into the local grid, reducing the demand for fossil fuels. In areas where net metering is available, utilities will offer payments, usually in the form of energy credits, to utility customers who sell their excess energy to the grid.
Net metering is not currently available to residents of Hawaii. In 2015, net metering was replaced with grid-supply, self-supply compensation, and time of use tariff options.
A reduced rate of 40% to 75% can be provided to customers for excess generation via the grid-supply option.
Customers can't export any excess generation to the grid but may qualify for an interconnection study via the self-supply option.3
In addition to the utility-based rebate program, homeowners in Hawaii who install solar are exempt for 25 years from property tax increases that result from installing solar panels.4
PACE (Property Assessed Clean Energy) Financing, a program that involves loaning the cost of an eligible energy upgrade to a homeowner to be repaid over time through property tax bills, is not currently available in Hawaii5 However, a number of programs do exist for Hawaii residents interested in solar energy and other energy efficiency measures.
For a full list of the 56 energy-related regulatory, incentive, rebate, and loan programs in the state, visit the Hawaii page of DSIRE, a service of the NC Clean Energy Technology Center.
As a way to promote clean and renewable energy, the federal government has put in place two nationwide solar incentives that are available to Hawaii residents. Homeowners should apply for them shortly after installation is complete. Our experts from LG's Solar Concierge can help you understand these incentives and how to apply.
Your geographical location, roof orientation, and electricity rates are major factors that influence the amount of savings solar energy can bring you. LG's Solar Concierge offers you our reliable online tools to find out the system size and annual as well as cumulative savings, right at your fingertips - for free. Additionally, you can use it to connect to our expert energy advisers or LG PRO installers to get the right offers for your home. Choose a trusted global brand that offers high power output, high efficiency, long-term durability and reliability, and panels that produce power during late afternoons when the angle of light is lower (when utilities may charge more for electricity from the grid).
