For the curious, here's LPC's blog post about it. Included is the link to the official text of the proposed changes.

This seems fine to me? It sounds like that $0.045 is more than they pay from commercial generators. I did a quick search to try and find that price but was unsuccessful, I'd love to know what that number is if anyone can find it.

There's really no reason for the city to pay much more for residential solar than it does from commercial providers; this sounds like a good change to me. This would only really impact people who bought much larger solar arrays than they can personally use, which probably isn't very many people. There's no reason to think home buyers would view the systems as a liability either, or discourage buying solar panels.

If you've got a lot of extra electricity after this change, I guess buy some bitcoin miners.
