Protect Rooftop Solar

A message from the Solar Rights Alliance:

The California Public Utilities Commission has proposed to break the state’s contract with nearly two million solar customers, slash their solar credit, and slap them with a solar tax. These changes would apply to ALL solar customers who signed up for solar before April 2023 (NEM1 and NEM2).

Governor Newsom could include the CPUC’s proposal in his proposed budget this spring.

Now is the time to ensure your state Assemblymember and Senator understand that they cannot break two million solar contracts.

Instead, they should tackle the root cause of high rates, and rein in the utilities’ spending and profiteering.

The Solar Rights Alliance envisions a California in which millions of everyday people and communities including homeowners, renters, farmers, and schools can benefit from the freedom of rooftop solar energy. 

Right now, this is only a proposal. Keep it that way by contacting your state lawmakers: https://solarrights.org/dontbreakthecontract-action/
