Basic life gets more expensive thanks to gov reg. Roi on solar for single family homes never pays off.
Better be American-made hardware installed by American citizens, since its mandated by an American government.
Making solar panels is extremely polluting, which is why they are made in China.
They pollute way too much to ever be able to be made here, and they cost more to produce than they save in energy.
But hey, who cares about what happens to those Chinese forced laborers as long as we can feel good about going green?
This is good news for the wealthy Californians and other Californians who already own homes. The cost of new housing goes higher. The price of existing housing will go up. As usual it will be the California middle class, what is left of it, who will get screwed.
How could this be legal?
Perhaps they should require that all new homes have solid gold bathroom fixtures. How is this even legal?
And flakes!
They get very angry when you do not give them a shout out.
All of the masses must do their part for the collective power! Obey!
Require?
Thanks for pricing normal people out of housing
If we had proper judges across the judiciary, this could be challenged as a form of “taking” of property without even the limited benefit of the demands of eminent domain.
The state is mandating that owners and builders put in solar panels to meet a political demand of the state, forcing an unnecessary cost on builders, homeowners AND the electric grid suppliers, as they, the grid suppliers, will be required, in California to pay retail for any electricity brought to the grid by the solar panels. The grid will also acquire infrastructure costs for handling all the additional residential solar generated input.
So exist5ing homes will become even more pricey, more in demand, and the pricey newer homes that will have more legally mandated costs, will further squeeze out citizens looking for “affordable” housing.
Maybe the sneaky California Dims are trying to make California too costly for the very “immigrants” they are so fond of defending, hoping they will “migrate” out of California??
I think I’ll call my 401K advisor tomorrow. See what he thinks about investing in long distance moving companies based in California.
The state is lying again as solar panels do not cost $9,365
On KABC radio this morning the host was talking to another and they had both priced solar and agreed the cost was $30,000 to $40,000. The host has a 2,000sq/ft home.
Kinda like the high speed rail cost and the speed. All lies.
