Hawaiian Electric’s new “Shared Solar” program is moving forward with preliminary approval just received from the Public Utilities Commission. This is exciting news for more community-based sustainable living.
What is Shared Solar?
Hawaiian Electric's “Shared Solar” or “Community-Based Renewable Energy” program provides the benefits of solar energy to residential and commercial customers who can’t install a private rooftop solar system - which includes many renters and apartment dwellers.

What are their next phases?
For Subscriber Organizations - Hawaiian Electric will be seeking subscriber organizations and working to bring them online after final program approval expected in mid-September.
For Customers - Participants will be able to sign-up for shared solar after subscriber organizations have contracted with Hawaiian Electric to develop a project for their island. When the program launches, low-to-moderate-income customers will be encouraged to participate.
