Legislation that would change Florida’s rooftop solar industry gets pushback

In this mention

Florida legislation moving through the House would reduce net metering credits for rooftop solar customers and increase interconnection costs, sparking opposition from solar advocates and industry representatives. George Cavros of the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy testified that rooftop solar does not raise other customers' bills, arguing instead that utility investments in power plants and fuel costs are the primary drivers of rate increases. The bill includes a grandfather clause protecting existing solar users for 20 years but opponents warn it could eliminate the rooftop solar industry and cost thousands of jobs.
