The Solar-Panel Backlash Is Here

  "On sunny days, some states can waste lots of clean energy. Their response has been to make panels less affordable."

  "Backlash" is a weird way of phrasing it. They're slashing net metering, and only for new instillations. That seems entirely reasonable to me. It doesn't hurt people who've already installed panels with net metering priced in their ROI. And not paying for electricity when there's already a surplus seems economically sensible. Subsidies for panel installations could be more direct, and/or could encourage solar+battery installations to give power to the grid when it's actually needed.
