Just call it a disposal fee.
If you drive a car, car, I’ll tax the street
If you try to sit, sit, I’ll tax your seat
If you get too cold, cold, I’ll tax the heat
If you take a walk, walk, I’ll tax your feet
There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch. Leftist gonna tax. Simple as that.

If a homeowner or business received tax incentives to install solar, then the issuing government agency should receive the income from putting energy back into the grid until the tax incentive has been fully paid back.
I would never consider a grid tied system. Most grid operators are slightly more trustworthy than fedgov.
All those incentives to go solar will slowly get taken back in some way.
Just wait till EV owners are taxed for their electrical power up at the same rate gas/diesel owners pay at the pump..
Any new taxes will be partially offset by the solar depletion allowance.
Should five percent appear too small
Be thankful I don’t take it all

Yeah, I’m the taxman

Im actually thinking about putting solar at our ranch house. And disconnecting from the electric company there. As old as I am the components should out last me….
Suckers, you fell for it, enjoy.
I don’t understand dealing with non-tangibles. It’s like giving back some “air” because you didn’t use it all in xxx number of hours! Like carbon credits - need a good imagination to even understand it. I’m speaking for myself - perhaps others get it! I just plain don’t!
“The proposed changes would eliminate this financial incentive and reversely tax users per month simply for having rooftop solar.”
Ending solar energy as economically viable.
England imposed a window tax to help pay for switching over to milled coinage. Tax collector counted the number of windows in your house and sent you the bill. So sun light has been taxed before.
I seem to remember this happening before.
To many small producers dumping into the grid, and the utility will not like it.
Simple, it is a money source.
Another stupid and inane slogan from the Left.
Nobody is taxing the sun, just pay for using the transmission lines and stop using the utilities as a back up battery for free.

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
The first things that I try to verify regarding taxes is this. Is whoever officially deciding taxes not only constitutionally authorized to do so, but also popularly elected?
After all, we don't want taxation without representation.
Unsurprisingly for an election year, the referenced article seemingly volunteers non-elected California PG&E bureaucrats as the tax guy. But is front-ending a proposed tax with PG&E actually a little sleight of hand to give voters the impression that a proposed tax is somehow out of their control, comparable to career federal lawmakers arguably hiding behind non-elected federal bureaucrats regarding proposed federal tax increases?
But after a little scratching, California Senate and Assembly evidently have respective Fiscal Committees.
Step 3: What If Your Bill Goes To A Fiscal Committee?
So without knowing any more, Californians need to know that their elected government leaders are probably the ones "proposing" a tax on solar panels this election year.
Note that similarly to the federal constitution which expressly uniquely gives House of Representatives the power to originate tax appropriations bills, California constitution should probably be amended to identify California lawmakers as the big, bad tax people.
Corrections, insights welcome.
And speaking of election year, Trump's red tsunami of patriot supporters are reminded that they must vote twice this election year. Your first vote is to primary career RINO incumbents in federal and state governments. Your second vote is to replace outgoing Democrats and RINOs with Trump-endorsed patriot candidates.
Again, insights welcome.
Tax everything!
Oh wait,they kind of do already.
This is what California has voted for repeatedly.
I have no sympathy whatsoever for anyone that has any complaint about how any lefty run communities suffer.
I simply don’t care.
Our intrepid reporter neglected to inform readers that, according to The Hill, “Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E), Southern California Edison (SCE) and San Diego Gas & Electric (SDGE) are all major contributors to the Affordable Clean Energy for All coalition, which is seeking to reform California’s Net Energy Metering (NEM) program by reducing paybacks to residential solar customers, according to documents the utilities filed with the state.
Hmm...
