Assembly Bill 942, originally proposing significant changes to the benefits for rooftop solar owners in California, has seen critical portions removed. The bill's amendment, which would have reduced compensation periods from 20 years to 10 for current solar customers, faced strong backlash from the industry and homeowners. This change follows the California Public Utilities Commission's revised Net Energy Metering rules, which offered lower compensation for new customers. The amendments aim to maintain the original benefits for existing owners while addressing utility companies' concerns about equity in cost-sharing among all electricity consumers.
The recent amendments to Assembly Bill 942 have retained longer compensation periods for existing rooftop solar customers, addressing widespread concerns about potential financial losses.
The solar industry voiced strong opposition to the bill's proposed amendments, arguing it represented a breach of contract for homeowners who invested heavily in solar technology.
