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.
Watch the video below to learn more about “Shared Solar”.
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.
