New consumer protection rules for CA residential solar and storage projects take effect this week, and we’re here to help you get ready.☀️🫡 The rules adopted by the California Public Utilities Commission require savings estimates based on 12 months of verified interval data in contracts and interconnection applications. Using interval data in your contracts doesn’t just meet the new requirements; it helps your customers make confident decisions and strengthens trust across California’s solar and storage industry. With UtilityAPI, your team can securely access verified interval data from Pacific Gas and Electric Company, Southern California Edison (SCE), and San Diego Gas & Electric to stay compliant, protect your license, and close deals faster. Review the requirements and get ready now 👉 https://bit.ly/47utRcQ

Important changes are coming for California’s residential solar and storage market. ☀️ The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) is updating its requirements for how installers calculate and disclose bill savings estimates to customers, impacting all new residential solar and storage projects across the state. Understand what’s changing and see how UtilityAPI can help your team prepare. 👇 🔗 http://bit.ly/47utRcQ #Solar #California #Data
Very quietly some big changes are coming to California's residential solar and storage market. ☀️ ⚡ 🔋 Starting November 1st all new residential solar-only and solar plus storage projects installed in any investor-owned service territory must use 12 months of interval data to estimate and disclose estimated savings. Good news for consumer; bad news for installers not used to accessing customer interval data. Given how few residential installers know the details of these new requirements (I can count them on one hand), and because I am recovering CPUC regulatory, I wrote a guide that breaks it all down, including the three viable options for getting interval data required. 1️⃣ Walking utility account holders through downloading the data themselves (friction, churn) 2️⃣ Registering with each of the big three IOU's data-sharing platforms (accurate, technical, and slow) 3️⃣ Using data access platform's like UtilityAPI (fast, scalable, compliance-ready) California Solar & Storage Association California Public Utilities Commission Aurora Solar OpenSolar Solar Energy Industries Association Residential Solar Association Ohm Analytics https://lnkd.in/eaaTtNBM
