Home electricity rates continue to rise. Get off of the obsolete grid system and save money with solar energy. You might even get approved for our zero-cost installation program. Watch this video to learn more.

The California Public Utilities Commission on Thursday passed a proposal that will reduce compensation provided to households for the surplus electricity their rooftop solar panels contribute to the electric grid.

Today’s unanimous vote by the five-member commission was monitored across the country, since California is widely viewed as a leader in the renewable energy buildout.

More than 1.5 million homes, businesses and other utility customers in California have rooftop solar panels.

This morning, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) released a revised proposed decision about rooftop solar. The changes they are proposing are still dramatic.

We are still reading through the 240-page proposal, but below are some initial takes.

FUNDS4SOLAR is a renewable energy fundraising program. Most families have considered getting rooftop solar on their home, if they haven’t already done it. And so we give schools an option where they could partner with us and their parents that go with solar. We actually give a donation back to the school for each installation. So we’re helping schools raise money, we’re helping families save money, and we’re helping the environment; which could use a lot more help. So it’s my little contribution to solving the problem, I should say.

My company is an independent contractor for Sunrun.

Let me help you understand their model and answer any questions.

First, Sunrun is the largest renewable energy company in North America. They are a $20B, public traded company on the NASDAQ.

There are 4 ways to acquire residential solar:

Renters can save a bundle on electricity with no cost solar. The savings can be negotiated with your landlord and “split” evenly so they are motivated to help you get the system installed. Ask us how.

Testifying before the House Committee on Homeland Security on Tuesday, Bill Nye told lawmakers that he was “scared too” about climate change, and that the U.S. needed to “invest in a big way” to solve the problem.

In a letter to SEC Chairman Gary Gensler on Friday, Google parent Alphabet, Amazon, Autodesk, eBay, Facebook, Intel and Salesforce shared their view in response to a request for public input on such disclosures. The tech industry has been vocal on climate issues in the past, even as employees have pressed the companies themselves to do better.

A “green vortex” is saving America’s climate future.

Combustion engine bans are coming soon. These automakers plan to be ahead of the curve.

A Swiss government-backed study suggests that we could see major warming in the near future if we do not have a "fast and complete" renewable energy transition.

Two of the world’s largest firefighting helicopters designed to help battle wildfires in Orange, Los Angeles and Ventura counties landed in Southern California on Monday, June 14.

US special interest groups are working to stall the growth of rooftop solar.

Back in March, Audi confirmed that its internal combustion engine development program will soon come to a close. The automaker instead aims to focus on electric powertrains, as Euro 7 emissions regulations make ICE-powered machines more difficult to produce and many cities and nations consider banning ICE vehicles in the near future.

With summer here, energy bills are going to spike tremendously. One exception will be the Castro Family Home in Orange County, CA who participated in the Solar Superhero Program by Funds4Solar.

Renewable electricity production needs to grow eight times faster than the current rate to help limit global heating, according to a report.

The International Renewable Energy Agency (Irena) said urgent action was needed to keep pace with the rising demand for electricity, which could require a total investment of $131tn in renewables by 2050.
