California Net Metering Cap Doubled

California Assembly Bill 510
California Assembly Bill 510 was passed on February 18th.  This bill doubles the cap on net metering in the state (see previous articles What Does Net Metering Mean and What is Net Metering). 


This new law changes the maximum cap from 2.5% to 5% of the utilities' peak demand.  This could be a very big deal in the future.  What it means is that before this change the utilities only needed to agree to "net meter" up to 2.5% of their peak demand.  So once this was reached homeowners would no longer have the availability of net metering for their solar electric system.  However, this maximum has been doubled which means many more homeowners for a longer period of time will be able to setup net metering with the utilities to take advantage of Solar Electricity.
