The fact that solar is such a big topic now for homeowners and governments is amazing to see and hear. The questions that will definitely rise is will the federal tax credit be extended again or will another enticing offer be put on the table?

No matter the situation, this article definitely shows that alternative energy is a topic for each and every state and more should be readily available in the future.

This will force costs of installing solar PV on homes back to the 2006-8 period. The IOU utility lobbying interference with NEM 3.0 will also be biased towards the utility and away from the solar PV and ESS adopters. The original idea was for “all” stakeholders, including residential rate payers with solar PV systems to have a say in the policy. I’m relatively sure this kind of “gerrymandering” is not isolated to just California, and across the U.S. there are IOUs in front of legislative commissions and lobbying for preferential laws biased towards the utilities.
