POWER MYTHS

If you live in California, you

know that solar power is a

fairly popular topic in the

news.

Lawmakers recently passed

AB 327, which changes the

way California residents use

and pay for their solar

energy.

Now, utility companies

must buy back solar

energy that cities, like

San Francisco, generate

across the state from

their customers, as well

as expand solar energy

offerings.

Many other states are

catching onto the solar

trend, but every good thing

comes with a few myths…

for the entire United States.
