Hawaii SB1090 mandates solar and electric vehicle readiness for new residential constructions.
Hawaii SB1090 requires new residential constructions to be solar and electric vehicle-ready. This includes installing solar conduits, electrical panels capable of accommodating photovoltaic systems, and dedicated electric vehicle charging stations. The bill aims to make the transition to renewable energy more cost-effective by integrating these systems during construction rather than retrofitting after completion. The provisions apply to single-family, multi-family, and two-family detached residences, with specific requirements for electrical panels and conduits.
