Solar has done well by focusing the sales focus on saving the customer money. But part of every project is the customer’s ability to produce their own energy and hedge against utility rate increases. This is clearly an the advantage created by net metering, a policy that allows solar producers to use the electricity behind the meter. Going back on this policy may sound like it helps solar in the short term but make no mistake about it, value of solar tariffs give the benefits of solar production to the utility not the solar producer.
