Pushing anti-solar policies and having utilities fight for them is one thing. But the permanent placement of an ALEC legislator to the State Utilities Commission is something that solar cannot stand for. Our battles will be fought and won or lost at State Utilities Boards. The commissions and their staff make the decisions about projects, policies and the details of regulations. Insurance requirements for net metered solar? PUCs. Application fees for residential solar interconnection? PUCs. Everything goes back to PUCs. This is our battle, commissions are our battleground. We have to win here.
