This is not correct at all. Solar is not only possible for grid connected new construction in CA, it’s required.
The only restriction here is the federal one that requires his new construction home to be grid tied if Fannie Mae is going to loan him $$ for it.
Given the potential negative impact on home value of a non-grid-tied home, that’s probably reasonable.
- rhacker 5y agoHoly crap this is going to be so far from the truth going forward in this area. PG&E will, for the rest of time, have wind based power outages that last multiple days (about 20 days in 2020). This is truly a terrible restriction based on idiots that can't comprehend we have solutions to the problems in California and Texas. The other thing PG&E is pushing for is 100% electric appliances - this only benefits the utility, at this point is going to get $600 per month per household in the winter. It's pretty obvious who's writing these grid tie restrictions.
