Looks like California PUC has just ended most of Grid Tied Solar credits--Now want battery banks
California Regulators Make Controversial Move to Reduce Incentives to Homeowners with Solar Panels
https://legalinsurrection.com/2022/12/california-regulators-make-controversial-move-to-reduce-incentives-to-homeowners-with-solar-panels/“[Homeowners] can do two things with the battery: you can offset your own costs, which tend to be much higher because we have tiered rates in the evening, or you can export it to the grid.”
“And if you export it to the grid in the evening, you would get between $0.40 and $1.”
It’s much more than the $0.05 to $0.10 per kilowatt-hour that homeowners will be paid for the power generated by their solar panels during the daytime. But during the California Public Utilities Commission virtual meeting on Thursday, dozens of people spoke out in opposition to the new regulations.
“Batteries are too expensive right now. You’ll limit new installations to either the rich or the subsidized. The middle class will be cut out.”
As this decision is based on both green justice and social justice principles, expect failure to ensue.
