California’s “net energy metering” program, in which residential solar customers are allowed to sell energy they don’t use back to power companies, resulting in a big discount and savings on their energy bills, is scheduled to be the subject of proposed reforms soon to be issued by the California Public Utilities Commission.  The 26-year-old program has proven to be successful, but the CPUC may lower the incentives for people to go solar to reduce electricity bills for the rest of residents in the state.  For information, please read:  https://apnews.com/article/science-business-environment-and-nature-california-utilities-1bc5070157e0fb4f0c216f8b1dd1daee.
