Hawaii HB243 requires new residential construction to be solar and electric vehicle-ready.

Hawaii HB243 mandates that new residential constructions include solar and electric vehicle infrastructure. For new homes, plans must indicate locations for solar equipment and pathways for conduits. Electrical panels must accommodate future solar systems and be labeled "solar photovoltaic-ready." For electric vehicle readiness, new homes must include a dedicated receptacle with a minimum alternating current level 2. These provisions aim to make the transition to renewable energy more cost-efficient and effective.
