Nothing about solar is simple anymore. The complications about our industry are in the many levels of details that we have to operate in. Net metering and Interconnection can easily be manipulated by creating restrictions to reduce access to the policies. In Florida, for example, sale of electricity is reserved for utilities. The sale of electricity to one person is the sale of electricity to a market therefore requiring the seller to be a regulated utility. This cuts both ways as ideas like ratebasing solar assets by utilities couldn’t work in a PPA scenario. Sign the pledge and take a stand for open solar for all.
