It's more complicated than just this, but here is an important sentence:
The proposed residential credit rate is
18.0 cents per kWh for Oahu, 22.5 cents per kWh for Hawaii,
23.1 cents per kWh for Maui, 27.5 cents per kWh for Molokai,
and 29.5 cents per kWh for Lanai.

The article in the link I posted has been updated. Originally it said Hawaii would get only 15 cents per kwh. Now it doesn't mention Hawaii island at all so I am confused. Also those numbers you posted are not the same as in the article.
From the article:
"The PUC's order cuts the credit new PV customers will get for sending excess energy to the grid from 26.8 cents per kilowatt hour to about 15 cents under a new Grid Supply program."
Under the new Grid Supply" system Maui customers will be credited at 17 cents per kilowatt hour. it will be 24 cents on Molokai, and 28 cents for solar customers on Lanai.
