It\u2019s time to rally together once again, #SolarWarrior! As you\u2019ll hear in today\u2019s #TacticalTuesday (TT), Carter Lavin and the folks at the California Solar & Storage Association need our help not just to get the word out, but to GET out and be present at this Thursday\u2019s upcoming rallies in California.

Carter is one of the folks I find most knowledgeable and compelling in his ability to explain what\u2019s at stake for the industry. So, in today\u2019s TT, we go into what is the premise of Net Energy Metering (NEM), why it\u2019s so important, and how, exactly, it\u2019s under fire in the CA market.

 In January, we put out the call-to-arms for our solar community to get to the rallies in LA and SF, and thousands of you show up. We hope that you\u2019ll rally once more, as the fate of the CA solar industry still hangs very much in the balance. January\u2019s solar rally was the largest solar rally in history, and it led to Commissioners getting fired & updates to the commission's directive. But the legislative win that followed was only the beginning.  This week, the CA Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) meets again, and we intend to make a public display that the Solar industry is united and strong.

What are these rallies? Why are they important or happening at all, and when/where are they? That\u2019s covered in today\u2019s discussion w/Carter.

As Carter says, \u201cThese discussions at the PUC are deciding the fate of the solar industry\u2026If we want to win, we have to fight.\u201d 

\u201cShow up, rally, donate, be loud\u201d, as Carter says.

You see, Solar Warrior, you can be right all day long and still be made illegal or impotent by those who wish to see the Solar industry choked out.

 For over a decade, Carter Lavin has helped renewable energy nonprofits and companies develop, design and execute marketing plans and sales drives, plan networking and educational events, track policy, and connect with media, government officials and community members. Listen in today as he brings the heat on why we need to stand together against this CPUC movement.

If you\u2019re totally unfamiliar with Net Energy Metering, , we\u2019ve covered the California policy market and in particular what\u2019s at stake in this NEM battle extensively in these previous episodes (in particular in the final 3):
