California Rooftop Solar Is at a Crossroads
Summary
California has been a leader in rooftop solar adoption for years thanks to incentives and compensation programs. But policies from utilities and state lawmakers are removing incentives and making it more expensive for residents to have solar on their homes. Supporters of the changes say the new policies will reduce everyone’s electric bills, but solar advocates say cutting back on rooftop solar will make it harder for California to meet its renewable energy goals. We talk with experts about the future of rooftop solar in California and what this moment means for renewable energy.
