Governor Newsom’s CPUC has Proposed to Break Your Solar Contract

 

Governor Newsom’s CPUC has Proposed to Break Your Solar Contract, Slash Your Solar Credit, and Slap You With a Solar Tax!

These changes would apply to ALL solar customers who signed up for solar before April 2023 (NEM1 and NEM2). Our best chance of stopping this proposal is to make it Dead On Arrival in the State Legislature.

This is a red alert. Please stop what you are doing and send your state Assemblymember and Senator a message right now. Then call their offices. Then share this message with three friends, or a thousand. The blue button below will walk you through all of these steps.

Tell your state lawmakers: Don’t Break the Solar Contract!

Background: The Newsom Administration has proposed to break two million solar contracts. California requires PG&E, Edison, and SDG&E to sign an “interconnection agreement” with solar customers. For those who signed up for solar before April 2023, the contract guarantees your “net metering” plan for twenty years, which is the minimum warranty for solar panels.

At the request of Governor Newsom, the CA Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) is now proposing to:

  • Break these solar contracts.
  • Slash the credit you get for the solar energy you send back to the grid.
  • Slap you with a Solar Tax
  • Apply these changes to anyone who went solar before April 2023.
