It’s a great day! It looks like we have a deal, a 5 year extension on the ITC at 30%, congratulations to everyone in solar. We don’t have to agree on everything but we can always agree about two issues, a long term ITC and robust NEM policies. Ever since the Solar Pledge, we have come together, moved our associations to fight for our businesses and make an impact. Yesterday, the CPUC came out with a filing that makes CA NEM 2.0 look very strong, more work to be done. In D.C., congress looks like they came together on a bill that includes spending, tax extensions and the lifting of the oil export ban while giving us the ITC extension we needed. Go ahead and enjoy the day, you fought hard with your voices to get it done.
