Relaxed rules for solar grid-ties under 10KW

[OpenD]

Interesting article.

"The new rules that go into effect will increase the number of smaller PV systems that can be hooked into the utility's electrical grids without requiring customers to conduct a costly study, according to HECO.

The changes apply to certain HECO customers in Honolulu, Maui and Hawaii counties with photovoltaic systems up to 10 kilowatts."

Now if the County would just relax the corresponding "building permit" requirement...

If the county was any more relaxed, I think they would be comatose....I knew of someone who just got there panels installed after applying for their permits back in March
