This has been the best investment my family has ever made. Clean energy was worth every penny we put into our rooftop solar system and companion battery!
Editorial: Solar installations are plummeting and California regulators are to blame https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2023-12-28/editorial-solar-installations-are-plummeting-and-california-regulators-are-to-blame
Preliminary data from the #rooftopsolar industry shows a steep drop in installations and widespread job losses since April. That’s when the PUC’s changes to the #netenergymetering program took effect, slashing the compensation new solar customers receive for the excess power they feed into the grid… disappointing to see the outcome of state regulators’ wrecking-ball approach play out so predictably.

PG&E bills to soar nearly $400 a year in 2024 for millions of California households https://www.sfchronicle.com/california/article/pge-rate-hike-18458239.php
With more rate hikes in 2026! After running a state through #RoofTopSolar with #regulatorycapture. Fiscal misconduct pays- CEO makes more than $51M/yr.

#DeterioratingCarbonSinks: Solano County’s Department of Resource Management has determined, despite the emerging criticism, that the proposed drilling operation will have no “potentially significant adverse environmental impacts"... problems for plants and wildlife.

fertile ground for #rooftopsolar to expand: the states whose #rates have recently risen above 15 cents.
In Illinois, the growth of rooftop solar is getting an assist from the state #Climate and #Equitable #Jobs Act, whose #subsidies have helped to expand the market.

Inside Climate News · This Number Helps Explain Why Rooftop Solar Is Becoming More Attractive in Many States - Inside Climate NewsWe look at state electricity rates, the “15-cent rule,” and what it means for solar.
THIS is why we took out loans against our house to fund rooftop solar and a battery!
Not only is our system 100% clean and fossil fuel free, but it cut our electric bill to $12 per month! Oh yeah, and the president’s recent law, (Inflation Reduction Act) gave us a tax rebate of 30% on the cost of the system!
If you live in a mostly sunny place, and you can swing it, DO IT!

#Utility companies can #bankroll elected #candidates, exerting influence through campaign cash.
Arizona’s biggest utility, for instance, gave millions of dollars to #darkmoney groups that helped elect two commissioners — and then refused to acknowledge that spending for years. The new commissioners later voted to slash #rooftopsolar incentives.
“That may be my biggest concern — that wide-open door for #influence by utilities,” Heern said.
Today our solar roof panels delivered 52 kWh to our battery and the community grid. All of our own power needs only used up 9.6 kWh. We are so glad we used our savings and took out loans to build this system. We are thrilled to be producing, and using clean power!
Last July we refinanced our home and took out an additional loan to pay for a solar rooftop power system and battery. Yesterday, (a clear but chilly day) our SunPower designed system produced 45 kilowatt hours (kWh) in nine hours. It was used as follows for 24 hours:
13 kWh for home use
13 kWh to the battery storage
19 kWh sold to the grid
This has been the best investment we’ve ever made aside from buying a home to live in. It is mind-blowing how much free power is coming down from the sun every day and we are grateful to have a way to use as well as create clean energy.
The 30% rebate we got on the entire system, (from the recently expanded, Federal, Investment Tax Credit really really helped us finance this project!
If you’re interested in pursuing solar power yourself I’m glad to share what I learned in the process. I don’t gain anything by sharing my experience but the planet will!
#TaxTheRich:
California’s #RooftopSolar tax obscure the real culprits: Gavin Newsom and Silicon Valley #billionaires. #NetMetering symbolizes the pattern of American politics- the Top 1% (or even Top .1%) has managed to hoard wealth and income by setting everyone else against each other.
Legal PlanetConcealing Plutocracy - Legal PlanetIf utilities must pay fees to affluent homeowners with solar, that means those funds aren’t available to cut the costs of electricity to lower-income people. Here's a way around that.
