Word Of The Day, Regressive. In another relentless cross-country attack on solar, the word of the day is regressive, i.e. rooftop solar is a regressive tax on consumers based on the unfounded notion that solar shifts costs to non-solar customers when exactly the opposite is true. Both Florida and California are seeing attacks on net metering that have the most traction that we’ve seen in years even though any consumer would find it hard to imagine a future where homes can’t build solar. While this would hurt the growth of the market, the reality is that it would harm the grid most of all and the rate base because consumers will self-sustain with storage and not participate in the energy system at all.
