Three environmental organizations are set to argue before the California Supreme Court against a controversial rooftop solar policy enacted by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). This legal challenge centers on the CPUC's revised compensation rules for the approximately 2 million solar customers, specifically the change from retail compensation to lower avoided costs for excess energy. Proponents of the policy believe it addresses cost-shifting issues, while opponents fear it will hinder solar growth in California.
The CPUC's decision modified how rooftop solar customers are paid for surplus energy, aiming to balance costs for both solar and non-solar users.
Advocates argue this change will discourage solar adoption, which conflicts with California's environmental goals and hard-won progress in renewable energy.
