![]() ![]() The mailbag was so chock full of divergent opinions, I will conduct a debate of sorts on the benefits of these solar subsidies by simply using reader replies from both sides of this argument.Īnti-subsidies: “Pay for your own solar, parasite.” Not to mention, aiding the state’s aggressive clean-energy goals. That upfront cost gets solar owners cheaper energy costs and helps to keep the grid running smoothly. They wonder why the CPUC’s thinking doesn’t significantly value the $15,000 or so invested in a typical solar system - or the 7% of energy produced statewide by these mini-power plants. Then there are others who, like me, have solar rooftop systems. They note solar owners tend to be from a wealthier demographic and can afford higher energy bills. Some see little value in paying more for energy so a neighbor can eventually get a financial return on their investment in an electricity-generating roof. Should neighbors subsidize neighbors solar rooftops? Close Menu
