An interesting report came out yesterday discussing the technical status of net metering programs around the Country. The downside of solar’s success is the fact that NEM caps are coming into play. Even the largest programs in the Country, like California, the programs are at risk. The IOUs continue to make rate proposals like demand charges and time of use pricing to reduce access to solar by homeowners. So the headlines may sound solar friendly, there are details to be concerned about. Not all things pro renewable energy are pro solar, more on this to come.
