Net metering allows you to earn credits on your HECO bill for excess solar energy your panels send back to the grid. The specifics of net metering rates and policies vary by state and utility, so check with HECO for current terms.
In addition to the federal solar tax credit (30% of installation costs), your state and HECO may offer additional incentives for going solar. These can include rebates, performance-based incentives, and renewable energy credits.
If you can't install panels on your roof, community solar programs let you subscribe to a share of a local solar farm and receive credits on your HECO bill. This option is growing in availability across the country.
