It doesn't look to me like HECO is "fighting against PV".

It looks like they are fully aware that they still have to maintain the capacity to power all their customers, even if their customers are sometimes able to generate 100% of their own daytime needs when the sun shines.

The obvious solution is for homeowners to build their own discrete solar system and store whatever excess they make for later use without having to rely on HECO to absorb and redistribute the excess solar power.

If anyone wants HECO to allow them to feed power back into the grid, they should understand that the infrastructure necessary to do that costs a lot of money, and HECO is entitled to collect adequate compensation for buffering any excess solar power generated by their customers.
