I don't think it's reasonable at all. A grid-tie system isn't imposing any more work on PG&E than if I didn't have the grid-tie system. I currently don't have solar. If I do get a grid-tie system,...

I would agree: $10 a month to be connected to the grid seems pretty reasonable. Compare that to the cost of having your own battery storage system, which would be needed if you weren't connected to...

AB920 requires PG&E to pay you for any overproduction of electricity from your solar panels at your true-up. However, they only pay you at the wholesale rate of 3 or 4 cents and not the 13 cent...

Any suggestions on how to implement this change NOW....so they we can move it a little faster.

When the recall effort begins, volunteer your time. There was supposedly a recall effort planned to begin on or after September 15.

Efren Carrillo is probably going to try to hold out until January when he can resign and be vested in his six figure pension from the county. I don't want my tax dollars to go to that entitlement. ...

These are my comments, I felt Efren really listened. The video of everyone's comments are in the video below.
