California Regulators Vote to Cut Rooftop Solar Incentives Again, Prompting Industry Concerns
The California Public Utilities Commission has voted to cut financial incentives for rooftop solar power for the second time, causing concern in the solar industry. The decision will make solar panels less economically attractive for various sectors, including apartment dwellers, farmers, schools, and strip malls. Critics argue that these incentive cuts will hinder the expansion of rooftop solar, which plays a crucial role in reducing fossil fuel consumption and combating climate change, while proponents of the cuts argue that they are necessary to prevent higher electricity rates for non-solar customers.
