California is making big moves in the solar and storage world. Here’s the rundown. ➡️
The final tally on the state’s record-setting VPP test last week? It pulled in 535 MW from 100,000+ home batteries in a single peak event—comparable to half the power of a nuclear reactor.
More solar is on tap. Arevon Energy completed its $2B Eland solar-plus-storage complex, which can power 7% of Los Angeles with its 1.36M solar panels and nearly 200 batteries.
The rooftop solar compensation fight is back in swing. The state Supreme Court ordered a closer look at controversial net metering cuts that rooftop solar backers argue unfairly slashed credits for homeowners—cratering installations and triggering solar bankruptcies.
