SaveRooftopSolarFL

The same dark forces that brought you Amendment 1 in 2016 are back again in an attempt to undermine Florida voters and kill your rights to be fairly compensated for net-excess solar energy.

Net-Metering is the law of the land which provides fair compensation for clean, reliable, solar power and is the cornerstone for solar job creation in Florida.
Now, during a pandemic, ongoing racial injustice debates and protests, and hurricane season the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) has called a workshop to debate the legitimacy and need of Net-Metering.
We need to ensure that the Florida PSC hears our voices loud and clear that any negative change to Florida’s Net-Metering Program will cost Florida thousands of jobs overnight.

Save Rooftop Solar Jobs in Florida

Dear Commissioners,

The middle of a public health and economic crisis is not the time to create more uncertainty by making changes to solar rights that will hurt jobs and take money out of people’s pockets.

Before COVID-19, the Sunshine state produced the 4th most electricity from solar panels in the country, and employed over 12,000 people. Before this crisis began, “solar installer” was the fastest growing job in the country, and our industry employed 250,000 people. The COVID-19 crisis could put half, 125,000, of these jobs at risk in communities across the United States. Florida has already lost 22% of its workforce due to economic uncertainty, and this could get worse.

People and businesses across the state rely on common sense solar policies to take control of their own energy, and choose how they power their lives.

Solar panels and batteries contribute to the resilience of the electric grid. As we enter hurricane season, Floridians need more tools – not less – in order to weather all the storms that are coming our way.

Please defend solar workers, business owners, and homeowners from additional uncertainty by preserving net metering here in Florida.

Sincerely,
