The Alliance for Solar Choice is asking Arizona utility regulators to reconsider their December decision to end the system of net metering, which will reduce what utilities pay residential customers for excess power they send to the grid.
Net metering is a common system where utilities give solar customers a full retail credit for each kilowatt-hour of electricity they send to the grid. That occurs when their appliances are not drawing all the power being produced from their solar panels.
