"From 2011 to 2014 some 43 percent of residents who claimed the state’s renewable-energy tax credit made more than $100,000, an income bracket that accounts for 14 percent of the population."

So 57% of households that installed solar had an income less than $100K. The benefits are for EVERYONE who owns a home. 

"The Public Utilities Commission came up with a plan for community solar, but HECO has rejected it. On Tuesday HECO said it would pursue legal action to avoid putting in place the program proposed by the PUC."

And the PUC is promoting a program for those who rent or live in an apartment building, but that plan is being blocked by HECO!
