“Solar water heaters will be required in new single-family homes in Hawaii under legislation signed into law by Gov. Linda Lingle Thursday. The measure specifically prohibits the issuing of building permits for single-family homes that do not have solar water heaters, effective Jan. 1, 2010. Exceptions will be made in cases where homes are built in areas with low levels of sunshine, such as forests, and if the house uses a substitute renewable energy source.” (06/27/08)
