Lege Trend: Clean Energy Rules Cut Out Roof Top Solar

Where is this happening? California

What legislation cut out roof top solar? California’s clean air legislation that makes generating 1/2 the state’s electricity through renewables a goal

What detriment is there to roof top solar by excluding it? 

• It keeps roof top solar from gaining access to renewable funding (subsidies, as some say) for utlities and developers
• Some say it could cause rate payers to pay more

Who supported keeping roof top solar out of the legislation?  unions and coprorate entities. Union opposition was focused on the goal of building cleaner utilities and that including roof top solar would be a double dip to incentive funding for roof top solar.
