Not to worry. New cars aren’t affordable by the middle class. The middle class can take all the money it’s saving by not buying cars and buy premium refrigerator boxes.
And when the home doesn’t use as much power as the city thinks it should be using they’ll add a special tax to make up the difference of lost taxes on electrical bills.

Snicker, sounds about right, surrounded by the lush green Mohave Desert.
At noon on a bright sunny day. Sheesh.
I wonder if there's any requirement to maintain these worthless defacements? I can see an after market of solar de-installers. It's like an AOL or ASK.com toolbar that you have to pry off your computer. As soon as the residents move in they rent one of those driveway trash receptacles and head over to Home Depot to get crow bars to pry them off with.
....let's all sing......"Look for, the union label"....
how about just a law forbiding local cosmetic ordinaces ala small sat. dishes.
I wonder if they are mandating grid tie also. My system is just under 1.0 kW (off grid) and, with a bank of several batteries, is just enough to run the primary electronics in the house and somewhat marginal in the winter.
Pretty scarey that the liberal scum want to invade every faction of our lives, not just on California but, everywhere.
We need a revolution...
I would agree...figure huge boom this year...maybe a quarter of this year’s homes will be built next year.
Solar makes sense in a very limited way. You need to live in a region that has 250 days of sunshine, and you need to expect only minimum pay-back (maybe enough power to run your lights).
My humble guess is that five years in the future....some folks will be building homes with very cheap solar panels that probably don’t work....but mostly for the city requirement and show. That’s it. They might even be fake panels put in abundance for several years...until the city figures out the fake routine.
What's the problem, are some homeowners not allowing the sun to shine on their houses?
1.5 KW is respectable and would run my house most of the time. One could not comfortably live off grid on 1.5 KW but it would keep the lights on, computer running and maybe power a small refrigerator too. But at what costs? At $4/watt that 1.5wk costs you $6,000.00 plus you only get that 1.5kw during daylight when it is nice outside. Also the system will degrade over time and have to be replaced in 15 or 20 years. All in all Solar is not yet a good investment for those of us watching our pennies.
Rex”Bloomberg” Parris, the mayor of Lancaster, California, wants every new home in his city to host solar. And starting next January, that could be a reality. There fixed it, enough said.
lol
so basically the state wants to force people to use technology that doesn’t really work, is expensive to maintain and will dramatically increase the cost of a new home?
Good freaking grief!!! that GOD I don’t live in New York or California!!!!
WHY do the people in those two states put up with this!!???
who wants to be told what to do all the time!?!??!
How about adding a woodchip gasifier generator? Got chips?
With all of the solar companies that are and have folded, it looks like cheap low quality ones from China will be all that are available. Could this be a move to bail out a US supplier?
SRSLY? 1.5kW, not enough to make any real contribution to the total power requiremnet, it's just required to be annoying.
This is liberal “How to Start a Successful Business 101”
Lancaster is a dump of a town. This will only make it dumpier...
However, it ought to make Palmdale and Rosamond boom!
