Nothing about solar is simple anymore. The complications about our industry are in the many levels of details that we have to operate in. Net metering and Interconnection can easily be manipulated by creating restrictions to reduce access to the policies. In Florida, for example, sale of electricity is reserved for utilities. The sale of electricity to one person is the sale of electricity to a market therefore requiring the seller to be a regulated utility. This cuts both ways as ideas like ratebasing solar assets by utilities couldn't work in a PPA scenario. Sign the pledge and take a stand for open solar for all.

SolarWakeup readers are the best, your devotion to solar advocacy is incredible and your reception to the Solar Pledge has been much greater than expected. That said, we have work to do. Today's news lead with PG&E looking to change the solar rules in California. Help get the word out about the Solar Pledge, it only works if we get together as a group and show legislators that solar support is greater than any check a big corporation can write. Post a #solarpledge image on your Linkedin, facebook or twitter account and spread the word (image 1, image 2, image 3)

Today is an important day for SolarWakeup and the solar industry. 2014 has already shown what is coming up for solar, attacks from many angles. Our industry has grown and we now have to play in the big leagues. Today we launch the Solar Pledge, a grassroots effort to support and advocate for distributed solar policies, namely net metering and the ITC. We already have some great support lined up but we need you, your company and colleagues. If you are in a group or association, we welcome the opportunity for their support as well.
