Governor Schwarzenegger signed two new bills in California this month advancing the state's solar initiatives and incentives for homeowners and businesses. AB 920, authored by Assembly member Jared Huffman (D-Marin) and sponsored by Environment California, will require utility companies to credit property owners for any extra electricity produced by the customer’s rooftop solar power system. SB 32, introduced by Sen. Gloria Negrete McLeod (D-Chino), goes on to require these same utilities to purchase solar electricity from facilities that produce up to three megawatts and could increase installations on unused spaces such as warehouse roofs. Both of the bills will go into effect on January 1, 2010.
"Watch out. California is about to give Germany a run for the money," said Bernadette Del Chiaro, clean energy advocate with Environment California. "Every warehouse roof, every parking lot, every unused sunny space can now become a mini-power plant generating pollution free solar electricity all while making money for the property owner." Still, some worry that recent economic conditions may have temporarily crumpled a business' ability to finance new green initiatives. "Green building techniques will continue to be important to the developers that are still developing properties," Bill Di Santo, president of Schiller Park, Ill.-based Englewood Construction, told CPE. "But they need to be strategized so that they accomplish the goal of sustainability while also conforming to the budget constraints."
