Will having rooftop solar panels in California get more expensive?
Source: https://abc7.com/
As rooftop solar panels become more popular and affordable, the California Public Utilities Commission is poised to make a change that some worry would disincentivize potential future customers from installing them.A group called Environment California held a virtual news conference Thursday to protest what they are calling a proposed "tax" that could be levied against future solar customers The group is specifically opposed to a plan by the CPUC to add a fee that would cost the average future solar panel owner $57 per month. In addition, they're upset that the CPUC is considering reducing the credits a customer would receive for putting electricity - made from their panels - back on the grid by around 80%."The Governor continues to care deeply about California's renewable energy future, and has been clear that more work needs to be done on this issue. The PUC has not yet brought this matter up for a vote, and it is not on the agenda for their next meeting."
