The new solar legislation presents a host of new problems and barriers to solar . For example : What if your existing PV system is grandfathered in under the old net metering rate and you want to expand ? How will the utility discriminate your solar ( kilowatt hour) kWh exports for the new rate? Their meter can’t tell the difference between energy from the vintage part of your PV system and that from the new increment but according to the legislation your production from the new capacity is to be valued at 40 % less. We’ll discuss this and more at the meeting this week.
