The goal is that Hawaii be 100 percent powered by renewable energy, not that 100% of the homes in Hawaii have residential solar.  
.
That goal can only be reached by promoting micro grids and community solar in conjunction with storage.  Such muti-megawat installations are complex and expensive, which precludes ProVision Solar Technologies from designing and operating them.  That my friend is the reason for this diatribe by Mr. Mangelsdorf. 
.
AES's solar-plus-storage peaker-plant on Kauai is the wave of the future and it is swamping niche residential installers like ProVision.

Rather than whine and cry the author this piece should scale up his company, retrain his people and go head to head with AES and CSIQ. The era when a local could survive on his publicity and political contacts is over.
