Summary

The bill tasks the Office of Home Energy Programs, or local agencies, with running new solar and energy‑saving programs for low‑ and moderate‑income households and community solar participants. It changes how solar capacity counts toward the state’s net‑metering limit, sets up a statewide capacity‑reservation system, and creates a standard utility net‑export rate called SUNRISE. Utilities must adopt SUNRISE tariffs, offer bill credits, and guarantee savings for eligible customers.
