Vancouver, British Columbia and San Diego, California (FSCwire) - Solar Alliance Energy, Inc. (‘Solar Alliance’) or (the ‘Company’) (TSX-V: SAN) is pleased to announce the California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”) approved a net metering regime, often referred to as NEM 2.0, that will preserve retail payments for residential rooftop solar. A key provision of NEM 2.0 maintains full retail credit for net metering and guarantees that customers who install solar under these rules will not be subject to future changes to these rules for 20 years.

“This approval of a new net metering regime brings certainty to the California solar industry and provides long term growth opportunities for Solar Alliance and an economic payback or savings for our customers,” said Solar Alliance CEO Jason Bak. “The decision reinforces California’s position as a global clean energy leader and it allows consumers to generate their own clean electricity. It means that consumers who install solar systems will continue to be paid full retail rates when they are generating more electricity than they are using.”

The CPUC decision provides economic certainty for the residential solar industry in California, and combined with the recent five-year extension of the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) for solar sets the stage for continued growth in the industry and for Solar Alliance.
