Policy in solar has good days, and days where there is more work to be done. One of those days happened in Mass yesterday when the Senate and House couldn’t reconcile their bills. At the same time, after the PUC in Hawaii went awol and cut net metering. Now there is a public outcry for fairness. A new poll was released yesterday that showed 97% of Hawaii residents want more rooftop solar. When they were told about the PUC’s solar changes, 4 out of 5 respondents saw it negatively. These are battles in the ongoing fight for a fair energy market.
