Distributed energy resources (DERs), including residential, commercial, and community solar and storage, make up close to half of California’s installed solar capacity. But recent regulatory changes have put a damper on the sector’s growth. This panel will explore the critical role DERs can play in achieving California’s clean energy goals and how rate policies can continue to drive DERs - or stop them in their tracks.
