From their web site:
“The California solar market faces a serious roadblock. Net metering–the policy that allows you to roll you meter backwards when you generate more solar electricity than you use–is currently capped at 2.5 % of system peak load. At current growth rates, we’ll likely hit this limit in parts of the state during this legislative cycle. If the Legislature does not act, California’s solar industry would take a serious hit.
Net metering makes solar systems more economical, and saves all ratepayers money by reducing peak demand.
AB 560 (Skinner) would raise the cap to 10%. It’s passed the Assembly, and faces a key hurdle in the Senate Energy, Utilities, and Communications Committee on July 7. Can you take action now?”
