2. Solar We’re Talking About
Behind the meter solar
Distributed solar
Rooftop solar
Customer sited solar

3. Cha-Cha-Changes Climate Change Modernization of the Grid Resiliency
Decentralization
Interactive
Resiliency
Risk of Natural Disaster
Human Made Disaster

4. One Tool in the Toolbag Evolution of the Electricity System From:
Centralized power plants and long distance transmission of electricity to load
To:
Local energy resources located close to customers of electrical load

5. Decentralized energy means local energy source located close to customers with load
Local economic development
Solar systems are assets in our communities built in our communities
Local job creation – good jobs and middle class wages
Increased resiliency (especially with storage)
Reduced losses associated with long distance transmission
Consumer choice
Clean energy at the source – my appliances run with power generated on my roof and any power I don’t use is exported. If I need more, I pull it of the grid.

6. Market Feels Different
Still Growing and Adding Solar, but
Fewer Installations?
Q versus Q – CA Solar Statistics
