SACRAMENTO, Calif.—A controversial vote before the California Public Utilities Commission on a proposal that could dramatically change the state’s burgeoning rooftop solar industry has been indefinitely postponed, according to officials.
The commission’s proposal—as it reads now—is not to only reduce credits up to 80 percent those homeowners and businesses receive when they generate more power than they use from their solar setups, but to also charge solar users about $50 more a month for what the commission calls a “grid participation” charge.
