On this edition of Your Call’s One Planet Series, we discuss rooftop solar in California. Last month, the California Public Utilities Commission proposed changes to the state's residential solar industry, including reducing the financial incentives for rooftop solar owners. The proposal has sparked a debate among utilities, the solar industry, environmental activists and homeowners. What do we need to know about the residential rooftop industry in California?
