Rooftop solar is under attack in California. The California Public Utilities Commission announced a proposal this month that would slash the state's solar incentive program. We know that when pro-solar policies are cut, solar adoption suffers.

  • California has ranked first in the nation for solar adoption since 2011, and strong, supportive policies like net metering have played a key role in our state's renewable energy success.

  • Rooftop solar makes use of the built environment, allowing California to keep its commitment to conserving our beautiful, natural spaces while making progress toward the state's goal to reach 100% clean electricity by 2045.

  • When Nevada tried to cut its net metering policy, the state experienced a 47% drop in residential solar installations. We can't let this sort of clean energy setback happen in California.

  • Compared to utility-scale solar energy projects, installing rooftop solar takes a fraction of the time to complete. It's one of our best tools for transitioning off of fossil fuels quickly and efficiently.

  • Thousands of homeowners across the state have taken advantage of California's solar energy incentive program, proving that supportive clean energy programs play a critical role in growing renewable energy statewide.

  • When coupled with storage, rooftop solar can improve the resiliency of our grid by powering homes and businesses in areas prone to blackouts.
