Hawaii SB232 aims to reduce administrative barriers for solar energy deployment by requiring online permitting tools and self-certification processes.

Hawaii SB232 seeks to lower administrative barriers for the deployment of residential and commercial solar energy systems. It mandates that government entities issuing building permits implement SolarAPP+ or an equivalent online automated permitting platform by January 1, 2026. Additionally, it requires a self-certification process for solar systems not compatible with SolarAPP+. The bill aims to streamline the permitting process, making it easier and faster for solar projects to proceed.
