Hawaii SB588 aims to streamline permitting for solar energy projects in flood zones.
Hawaii SB588 seeks to reduce administrative barriers for solar energy projects by implementing self-certification processes and exempting certain solar installations from Federal Emergency Management Agency requirements. Government entities must establish self-certification for solar projects that comply with codes and laws, are installed on existing structures, and do not obstruct flood zones. These projects can use offline field reports for inspections, allowing for faster reviews.
