Alliance for Solar Choice

The Alliance for Solar Choice The Alliance for Solar Choice (TASC) leads rooftop solar advocacy across the country. We mobilize communities from coast to coast to empower energy freedom.

No bots here! We're just looking for rooftop solar users to engage with and hear how it's helped them save + ways it's benefited them. You can read all about our organization here: allianceforsolarchoice.com

That's great! Have you been tracking your savings?

How long have you had rooftop solar?

As it should be! Rooftop solar is such a great way to help families lower their bills. ⚡

US Homeowners’ Rush to Get Expiring Solar Tax Credits Creates Bottleneck When the Trump administration wiped out electric vehicle tax credits earlier this year, the US automakers saw a rush of buyers. With rooftop solar and battery tax credits set to wind down at the end of this month, the same thing is happening again.

We love hearing how your rooftop solar has helped you save! How long have you had it installed?

Removing tax credits for rooftop solar and battery storage is massive step back! We should be encouraging and pushing for more clean energy credits, not canceling them. 😡

Congratulations on this huge milestone! See you later, gas bills. 👋☀️

Always something with NV Energy 😡

Electricity Should Be Free at Noon And two other ideas for lowering electricity costs.

Here's a gift article version of my article in the Atlantic about how to lower electricity prices.

Three Ideas for Lowering Electricity Costs For starters, recognize that clean energy is cheap energy.

Electricity prices are soaring while utilities rake in billions in profit. Here's three ideas to bring bills down:
1) Make power cheap in the middle of the day
2) Stop utility profiteering
3) Keep climate impacts off bills

My latest in @theatlantic.com.

CA and NV have DECREASED their year-on-year grid electricity demands by growing roof PV more than new grid demands (datacenters, EVs, heat pumps) have increased

CA has the 3rd-most data centers and by far the most EVs

Other states could take a lesson in how to avoid increases in grid demand

Stop the Surprise Utility Tax! The Nevada Public Utility Commission UNAMIMOUSLY approved a ~$50 monthly utility tax, which will increase the electricity bills for ALL ratepayers in Nevada starting this Spring.

Families shouldn’t be charged extra for their highest 15 minutes of energy use. Keep the pressure on your local reps and let them know you're not happy with these demand charges!

NEWS: #PUCN has decided to impose a ~$50 electricity bill increase on nearly 1 million customers in Southern Nevada. Where are our leaders? This is all so unnecessary.

STATEMENT: Despite having a clear chance to reverse course and stand with #NV families, the #PUCN chose to keep the deeply unpopular daily demand charge.

This vote came even after unanimous opposition from everyday Nevadans and consumer advocates who warned the charge violates #NV law.

Add your voice!

This is exactly what’s possible when communities put rooftop solar to work. Clean, reliable power right where it’s needed. 👏

Nevada regulators to review controversial daily demand charge for NV Energy customers Nevada regulators are expected to review their September general rate case decision and NV Energy's controversial daily demand charge Tuesday after groups filed reconsideration requests.

🚨 JUST IN: Regulators will reconsider NV Energy’s controversial Daily Demand Charge, the same billing scheme that could penalize families for their highest 15 minutes of energy use each day.

No giant desert farm needed. Just energy generated right from your roof. ⚡🌞

The only people Xcel is looking out for is their shareholders.

Our grid needs more electrons and it needs them fast. Xcel's proposal in Minnesota is NOT the right way to do this. We should be letting the private market lead and deploy batteries for 1/3 the cost of what Xcel is proposing in Minnesota.

We need more batteries, but what we don't need are unnecessary and wasteful utility profits. That's the issue here -- the private market can deploy these batteries much more affordably than Xcel can. Take a look at the Colorado example.

Batteries are the future! California is doing batteries the right way -- without utility ownership. That's the issue in this case.

There are MUCH CHEAPER ways to deploy batteries that don't pad Xcel's shareholder pockets. That's the issue here. Look at the Colorado example in the story:

We need more batteries, but it's Xcel's profits that are the problem here. The private market can provide batteries much more affordably -- take a look at the example in this story from Colorado.

Batteries can modernize the grid, but skeptics say Xcel has profits in mind • Minnesota Reformer Xcel Energy wants to place dozens of high-voltage batteries at commercial sites across Minnesota over the next few years.

Xcel wants to install high-voltage batteries across Minnesota for grid reliability and to support Minnesota’s carbon-free power mandate. Skeptics question whether a program that Xcel estimates could cost as much as $430 million over three years is a good use of ratepayer dollars.

Meet the Republicans who killed solar subsidies — after using them POLITICO’s E&E News examined satellite imagery of more than 100 homes owned by Republican lawmakers to see if they have solar panels. Seven had rooftop

NEW: At least three GOP lawmakers took advantage of a decades-old rooftop solar credit that'll expire in January due to Trump’s megalaw, E&E News has found.

They all support ending the perk that sliced thousands of dollars off the cost of installing their panels. www.eenews.net/articles/mee...

Have you voiced your concerns over their new demand charge yet?

Wow! Those savings are incredible! 👏👏
