Don’t tell the government anything.
Even if the state supreme court puts the kibosh on this law the question remains whether anybody in the industry is going to want to take the risk of coming back to California.
And what about the consumer? They have to know that the state is going to enact something new if the current law is overturned, because the fundamental problem of the state’s finances hasn’t changed.
how is a utility company informed about a customer’s income?
????????
China makes all the solar panels. So good on Cal for screwing China. Lol!
BTTT
Who knows? Maybe the government spies on everyone, and gives the information to them.
There’s nothing California democrats can’t screw up and then call a stunning success... Absolutely nothing.
If the Supreme Court reverses the decision because people claim their health will be damaged due to less solar means more carbon means Climate Change, then the cure is worse than the disease.
It seems to me if all the solar companies go bankrupt then the 25 year warranties they promised on their installations are worthless. Screwed by another California bait and switch.
What is sad is those rates look really good in comparison to what I pay in Colorado.
It’s a screwy situation, but does show that without being able to sell your excess power back to the grid a home solar system doesn’t make good economic sense. Of course, if they raise the rates high enough, maybe it would.
“how is a utility company informed about a customer’s income? “
there are already income based utility programs. The customer has to provide copies of income slips.

They plan to have the state inform them from the tax returns.
And of course that will be done with the utmost respect of privacy.
Utmost.
Just trust Gavin.
Tesla solar panels are made in China, Malaysia, South Korea, and the US.
Supposedly, they will be making their solar roof tiles in Buffalo NY.
“There’s nothing California democrats can’t screw up and then call a stunning success.”
It has been awhile since I read “Atlas Shrugged”, but IIRC the businesses had problems keeping up with the latest rules put in place by the government.
I need to read that book again. Here in Washington state, Governor Inslee and his climate change crap is really starting to impact things. (Gas is $4.60 at Costco). And the rules keep changing, and are unclear.
The latest law will not allow new appliances that use natural gas, and for the electrical and natural gas company to develop ways and to move towards complete carbon free energy. While they don’t call it a ban on natural gas, the wording is such that it is. Some day.
Note, in 11 years, the sale or REGISTRATION of new cars that use fuel will be banned in Washington state! Including LNG, which was once promoted as “green” with a bunch of the city buses and vehicles being switched to LNG not that long ago.
I wonder how soon the People’s Republic of Maryland will pass a similar law? Glad I’m gone from there. & don’t forget Maryland even tax folks on how much rain runs off the roofs of houses and buildings, including churches.
The Admin Law Judge released her report setting a monthly fixed cost charge of $24.15, with CARE households paying $6.
Each customer would also see their kwh price drop .04 to .06 cents. Now mine is .335 cents per kwh.
This is to stimulate customers to get rid of gas appliances and add a battery charger, as well. Since to save $ you need to use more power. Conservation is out.
I thought I read somewhere that solar panels only last 20 years. It doesn’t seem worth the cost to me.
The state income tax people will likely tell them which range a homeowner falls into.
