Thursday over the future of rooftop solar as California regulators proposed changes to incentives for home solar systems.to the net energy metering policy that they argue makes it more affordable for consumers to invest in panels and earn credits for excess energy produced.
Solar panels are on 1.5 million California homes. Some of those customers sell extra energy they aren’t using back to the power company for credit on their bills. "The subsidies are being paid for by everyone else who doesn’t have solar panels," spokesperson Kathy Fairbanks said. "The poor are subsidizing the rich and this is getting out of hand. We would just like to see the program more equitable."
When solar customers pay very low bills, due to credits, they are paying less into the over energy grid. The solar industry argues that number doesn’t take into account the contributions to grid reliability and other benefits that rooftop solar provides.
