California regulators have implemented rules that could negatively affect the solar sector, especially smaller projects, as renewable advocates express concerns about discouraging investments. The introduced rules focus on community solar programs to involve renters and low-income households in small-scale solar projects, but solar advocates argue that the compensation for developers under the new regulations may not be sufficient to promote investment. The California Public Utilities Commission rejected one proposal in favor of another, raising worries about affordability and climate change goals. The decisions are seen as critical not only for California but also for national community solar efforts.
