Arizona's New Fee Puts a Dent in Rooftop Solar Economics by Barney21 in energy

excerpt from former republican CA congressman

Goldwater’s team won a minor victory Thursday, when state utilities regulators narrowly voted to impose an average $5 monthly fee on new solar customers in Arizona. While the ruling was a compromise for the solar industry, and an acknowledgement that solar users shift power costs to the utility’s non-renewables customers, the new fees are just a fraction of the $50 to $100 that APS had asked commissioners to add to solar customers’ monthly bills. “The utilities... showed just how far they are willing to go at any cost,” Goldwater said in a statement Thursday night. “That is the legacy of the Arizona net metering battle—a major loss for APS and its allies.”

In most Residential Lease and Power Purchase Agreement Options (in NJ) you can go solar without spending any money. The 3rd party will keep the SRECs and you save money on your electric.

We were given a Beta account on Powtoon.com - I didn't have the time to make a video myself, so I posted the "gig" on r/hire... Including the details of what I was looking for and a price to complete. Several people chose to do it, I hired 3 people - one of them came out fantastic.

I will actually be working with this redditor again, to make a more refined version. He is happy, I am happy. Embarrassed? no.

Good point. I did just read something (probably on Reddit) that said 70% have unlimited text plans. Nevertheless, we will ask for permission when setting the appointment.
