Hawaii Solar Planning After Act 24
What Existing Solar Customers Should Know About Act 24
Guidance for Hawaii solar customers with installed, contracted, or in-progress projects.
Direct answer
Existing solar customers should gather project documentation, avoid assumptions, and ask a qualified tax professional how Act 24 may affect their specific situation. Customers should keep contracts, invoices, permit records, utility communications, interconnection details, and installation documentation.
Installed systems
If your system is already installed, your questions may be different from a customer just starting the process. Timing, payment records, certification requirements, and filing details may matter. AEI can help with project records and system context.
Contracted or in-progress projects
If your project is contracted or in progress, do not rely on generic online summaries. Ask for current project status, expected milestones, inspection timing, utility review, and documentation. A clean record trail can make conversations with advisors more productive.
Battery storage considerations
Battery storage may also be relevant for existing solar customers who want more resilience or better use of solar energy. Adding a battery later may require design review, equipment compatibility checks, permits, and utility considerations.
How AEI can help
This is a moment for organized review rather than fear. Customers should understand what has happened, what remains uncertain, and what documents support their project timeline.
