Salt River Project is mulling whether to increase rates for its solar customers, a move that has garnered public opposition.
Hundreds of solar customers and advocates showed up to a board of directors meeting in Tempe, Arizona to express their opposition to the plan on Monday.
“It makes me lose my investment in the panels,” Mitzi Epstein, a SRP solar customer from Tempe, said. “I now have wasted money on the panels (and) I will not get a return on investment at all.”
The rate hike would have solar customers pay roughly $50 more per month, attorney Court Rich, who represents The Alliance for Solar Choice, said.
