Rising Sun Solar Electric offers Hawaii homes and businesses an affordable clean power alternative. For the same monthly cost you pay the utility company, you can own a solar electric system and stabilize your electrical costs for the next 25 years.

Why not use what nature has given us? Solar power is electricity made by the sun. The sun is the universal life force that powers our planet. It keeps time and divides the world into night and day. The sun warms the earth and creates the winds, the waves, and the tides. The air we breathe and the food we eat. In one second, the sun produces enough energy to supply the world's energy needs for 2,000 years. Silent, no moving parts, nature's magic...THE WAY.

Net Metering lets you spin your electric meter in reverse.
A solar electric system changes the dynamics of your relationship with the utility. As a Clean energy producer you can "Net Meter" your electricity. In simple terms, if the solar system produces more energy than you are using at that moment in time, your meter will spin backwards-crediting your account at the full retail rate. When your energy needs exceed your system's output your meter spins forward. Your electric meter measures the "net" difference and the utility company bills you for this amount.

In June 2001 Hawaii became the 35th State to adopt a Net Energy Metering Law (NEM). Since 2001 the number and size of systems allowed has increased in order to meet market demands. Currently you can Net Meter systems up to 100 kilowatts. A larger system can be installed, however, the customer will not be credited for energy that isn't used on site.

Note: There is no charge from the utility company to become a net-metered customer.
