Critics say under the new proposal schools and other sites that have solar and more than one electricity meter would be required to sell the energy they produce back to their utility and then buy it back at a much higher rate.

What the heck CA?

    Meaningful solar backups for residential applications cost about the same as the actual panels.

    These are meaningful capital expenses and talking about double the cost just to avoid these rate gimmicks is not realistic. The utilities need to fix their transmission issues and the state needs to stop the perverse incentives that they’ve structured the utilities with.
