It’s good to see rooftop solar installations, and capacity, continuing their steady progress in Hawaii.
Last year, 7,976 new systems were added, a 7.5% increase over the previous year, says Hawaiian Electric. Total solar generation capacity — residential, commercial and grid-scale — grew by 13% to 1,410 megawatts. It’ll be even better to see clean-energy advances continue.
