In Hawaii, PV was subsidized for a long time. Unfortunately they've cut those back earlier this year. (Around January 2013) Since electricity is so expensive[1] here many people could reclaim their investments in as little as 5 years. With the subsidies reduced, it may be 7 years. That's incredibly short if you compared Hawaii to the mainland.
