Arizona Solar strikes back with video, social media

Arizona solar and net energy metering advocates appear to be swaying public opinion in their favor.

Ads attacking solar began about the same time as the Arizona Public Service (APS) effort to have the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) roll back the net energy metering (NEM) benefit. NEM reduces rooftop solar system owners’ bills at the retail rate for the kilowatt-hours they send to the grid.

APS proposed either allowing new solar system owners to continue being reimbursed in the same way but adding a charge to their bills for their use of the grid, or giving them a bill reduction at a different rate set by the ACC.

After the new video from the group Tell Utilities Solar won’t be Killed (TUSK) opposing the APS proposal was posted on Facebook, the daily total reach (the number of people who saw the page’s content) went from 368 on July 26 to 41,331 on July 30.
