Welcome to the
Run on Sun Monthly Newsletter

Your solar investment is under attack. Fight back!

Folks --

We have written about the changes being contemplated to Net Energy Metering (NEM) 3.0 previously, but the Preliminary Decision released on Monday is nothing short of a disaster for the industry and for existing solar clients.  We are asking folks to take action as we have just six weeks to convince the Governor and CPUC to put a stop to this utility power grab.

Here's a brief blurb from our friends at CALSSA, outlining our urgent next steps:

On December 13th, the California Public Utilities Commission announced their intent to give in to demands from PG&E, SDG&E and SoCal Edison to retroactively reduce the amount of time solar customers like yourself stay on their net metering rate from 20 years to 15 years. While this shocking decision from the Commission would hurt the solar investment you and over 1.3 Million Californian families, businesses, schools, community groups and farms have made, we still have time to stop this.

The Commission also announced new fees and drastically lower credits for solar customers that would make solar unaffordable for everyday Californians. We need to make it easier for people to get solar, not harder. Rooftop solar gives everyday Californians the power to control their energy bills and keep the lights on. We must ensure that Gov. Newsom and the Public Utilities Commission see that California supports rooftop solar!

That's why I'm asking you to please sign a public comment to Governor Newsom to save solar in California!  The final decision is January 27th so we only have a few days left to make our voices heard! 

Tell Governor Newsom: stand up to the utility attack on solar users

It’s easy and only takes 30 seconds.

Once you’ve signed (or if you’ve already signed), please consider forwarding this email to your network.

Thank you!

If you signed our petition before, we still need you to click on a link and speak out again. 

Together, we can win this!

Rally Time!

On Thursday, January 13th, starting at 11:00 a.m., there will be simultaneous rallies in Los Angeles and San Francisco to make our voices heard.  The LA rally will be in downtown at Pershing Square (easily reached by the Red line) and in San Francisco at the CPUC's HQ building, 505 Van Ness Avenue.

Who should be coming to these rallies? Everyone who has a stake in the outcome - specifically:

• Absolutely everyone who works in the solar industry! If the proposed decision becomes final, there will be substantial job losses throughout the industry! Taking a day away from the roof or the office to save your job is a no-brainer!
• Absolutely everyone who has solar on their home or business! Your investment's value is at stake - you need to push back against the thievery of the big utilties!
• Absolutely everyone who is considering adding solar! The proposed decision would extend your payback period from 5-7 years to 20 years! Why? So the big utilities can discourage you from adding solar, thereby putting more money in their pockets!
• Absolutely everyone who cares about Climate Change! We need to be adding more solar, more storage across the state! This proposal will seriously undercut our ability to reach California's Climate goals. It would be a giant step backwards.
• And.... you need to bring your friends, families, and co-workers to make this the biggest, loudest, demonstration ever in support of rooftop solar!

In short, we need everyone who can to show up on the 13th!
