HRS §269-106
Monthly billing and yearly true-up for net metering customers
Read the official text at capitol.hawaii.gov ↗This section explains how net metering customers are billed. They get a monthly bill, and once a year the utility does a final true-up for that year. Any extra credits you have left after that yearly true-up are lost and cannot be used in the next year.
