A year before the Arizona Corporation Commission began formally considering reductions to rooftop solar panel incentives, Arizona voters rejected three Democratic commission candidates who billed themselves as the “solar team.”
The Democrats — two who were seeking reelection — said during their campaign for the three seats that they would work to protect the growing solar industry. They promised to explore a more ambitious renewable energy requirement that the Corporation Commission adopted in 2006.
Now, they are expressing disappointment over the new commission’s approach to solar energy.
