As part of Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's Million Solar Roofs Program, California has set a goal to create 1,940 megawatts [64] of new, solar-produced electricity by 2016 – moving the state toward a cleaner energy future and helping lower the cost of solar systems for consumers. The California Solar Initiative has "a total budget of $2.167 ...
In California, solar PV performance monitoring has been regulated by the State government. As of 2017, the governmental agency California Solar Initiative (CSI) provided a Performance Monitoring & Reporting Service certificate to eligible companies active in the solar segment and acting in line with CSI requirements.

Californians pay the highest marginal state income tax rate in the country — 13.3%, according to Tax Foundation data. But California has a graduated tax rate, which means your rate increases ...
As California works towards its ambitious clean energy vision, an almost counterintuitive challenge has emerged: The state is, at times, generating more solar than it can handle.
Since 1978, solar irradiance has been directly measured by satellites with very good accuracy. [11]: 6 These measurements indicate that the Sun's total solar irradiance fluctuates by +-0.1% over the ~11 years of the solar cycle, but that its average value has been stable since the measurements started in 1978.
The solar industry sees the tax exemption as critical to California's drive to become carbon neutral by 2045. It argues that charging full property taxes for the massive buildout required would ...
