Navigating Hawaii Solar Today
Hawaii has the highest electricity rates in the nation, making solar an incredibly popular investment. However, the state's isolated island grids mean interconnection rules are strict.
For most new installations on islands served by Hawaiian Electric, a battery is effectively required to store power rather than exporting it freely to the grid. Kauai (served by KIUC) has its own distinct policies that also heavily incentivize battery storage.
State Tax Credit (RETITC)
Hawaii offers a Renewable Energy Technologies Income Tax Credit (RETITC) which can cover up to 35% of the system cost (subject to caps), significantly improving the return on investment.
How to choose a HI installer
- Check experience with your specific island's grid
- Ensure they use marine-grade hardware near the coast
- Check their active state contractor license
- Ask about current battery program availability
