  The CPUC board, appointed by governer Newsom, gets to set the rules.

  The utilities including PGE and So Cal Edison apparently own said governer.

  They decided to pay wholesale prices for electricity sold back to the grid instead of residential prices. That means that any excess power sold goes from around 33 cents to 6 cents, meaning that most people won’t see a change in their bills after installing solar because most households use power at night when there is no sun. This leads to people just not installing solar panels anymore.
