Ahhhhhhhhh, life is good in the solar biz...
"Customers who install a solar water heater can now receive $1,000 in rebates from Hawaiian Electric Co.
HECO said it raised the popular rebate by $250 after receiving approval from the state Public Utilities Commission.
The higher rebate applies to installation contracts signed on Feb. 13 or later, the company said. The rebate is available to residential customers who have qualifying systems installed by a HECO-approved contractor.
The rebate, combined with a 30 percent federal tax credit and a 35 percent Hawai'i state tax credit, can bring the cost of a typical solar water heating system down to about $1,500, said Paul Brencick, HECO's residential program manager. The regular cost of a solar water heating system can run $5,000 or more, he said.
"But even more important, the long-term savings on your electricity bill amounts to annual savings of nearly $500 for a typical family of four, which means the system essentially pays for itself in about three years," Brencick said.
Since the 1996 launch of the solar water heating program, HECO said it has installed more than 30,000 systems on O'ahu, making the program one of the largest and most successful in the country."
Yeah baby! We're about to bust out with the real money now!
Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012

Move to Oahu and call Grande Solar, Poncho Solar, Giants Solar, Mercurey Solar, Sun tech Hawaii, 21st Century, AiroSmith, IslandSolarService or any of the 40 or more installers, but be prepared to wait since they are backed up with jobs doing about 3 systems a day...

All of the inverters and charge controllers are completely computerized now so yeah I'm sure Outback Power Systems or Midnite Solar could use some good programmers. Ask for Robin Gudgel at Midnite tell him you heard of him through Kevin at Inter-Island Solar in Honolulu, tell him I'm Louis' apprentice. These guys have been in the industry since the 70's early 80's when solar was just for mountain men, remote island homes and people growing certain plants that they didn't want the utility companies geting suspicious. Now that it's taking off these guys are ecstatic. Originally Posted by NeilPearson

Sorry but the Oil State really ain't gots nuttin for ya'll folks as far as alternative energy goes, but the Feds still give ya $2000. Hopefully they will take the $2000 cap off and give you 30% of the cost back no matter how much it costs... Originally Posted by BoneCrusher
