The Arizona Corporation Commission has said that the rate structuring process for net metering in the state is subject to “undue influences”, and has hired out an attorney to investigate the issue, according to reports.
The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) has dismissed Fitch warnings that proposed net metering could damage the creditworthiness of utilities as “old news and bad analysis”.
San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) will likely surpass its cap on the number of rooftop solar systems that can sell electricity back to the utility under the net metering scheme – and will be the first utility in the state to do so.
SolarCity, best known for its services in the US for providing residential and commercial rooftop solar, announced a new set of services targeted at utility and grid operators on Thursday.
