I don&#x27;t see that Hawaii is taxing panels. They aren&#x27;t forcing power companies to buy solar power, but that isn&#x27;t a tax on panels.<p>It&#x27;s also the case that Hawaii is a really special case. I wouldn&#x27;t look to it being the beginning of a trend.<p>(Of course net metering will probably decline over time elsewhere, but this is not really a tax.)
