According to a report issued by the solar industry, rooftop solar permits in Honolulu has plunged by 58 percent in October 2014. The City and County of Honolulu issued only 518 rooftop solar permits as compared to 1,246 in October 2013. Part of this decrease is attributed to a rule change made by the Hawaiian Electric Company that required that both the customer and the contractors installing the rooftop solar panels be approved by the utility company to prevent safety and reliability concerns. As of October 31st, there are still 4,807 solar customers that are waiting to get approval.
