What is the point of net metering caps? They are a big subject currently in Nevada and Massachusetts. One side would say that it has to preserve the integrity of the grid that is used to provide service for consumers ‘when they hit their light switch’. The other side would simply say that it is used to keep solar growth from stagnation. It’s all a marketing scheme at the end of the day, a net metering cap is just that, a cap. A cap on solar, a cap on growth, a cap on creating sustainable businesses in our industry.
