Hawaii has various state incentives meant to offset the cost of installing solar for your home or business. Hawaii has set an ambitious goal of generating 100% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2045 and these rebates and incentives are put in place to help achieve this goal.
- Renewable Energy Technologies Income Tax Credit (RETITC): This credit gives Hawaii residents an income tax break of 35% on residential solar installations (maximum $5,000).
- Green Energy Money Saver (GEM$) On-Bill Program: This financing program is available to low- and moderate-income homeowners and renters. It offers immediate bill savings, elimination of credit barriers, obligation tied to the utility meter (rather than a person) and long-term financing of up to 20 years for a more cash-flow friendly option, amongst other benefits.
Hawaii's residents can also take advantage of the Solar Property Tax Exemption. Meaning that even after your property value increases due to the solar addition, your property taxes will not increase due to this. There are also various local solar incentives, depending on what city you live in. Contact us today to learn more and start saving with solar!
