New California Bill Could Reduce Solar Savings for Future Home Buyers

AB 942 proposes ending inherited rooftop solar benefits for new homeowners in California, shifting them to lower-paying Net Energy Metering rates starting in 2026. The bill aims to address cost imbalances where non-solar users subsidize grid costs, potentially saving consumers billions. Critics argue it undermines solar investments and clean energy progress by reducing incentives and adding fees for new solar homebuyers.
