Solar stocks may be in for a rude awakening in 2022.
While California has historically passed friendly solar policies, the latest proposal from the California Public Utilities Commission would be "heavily damaging to near-term rooftop solar growth and margins," according to Morgan Stanley analyst Stephen Byrd.
The commission may charge people with rooftop solar panels a monthly grid-connection fee that could come to $40 for an average home and reduce the amount of money that utilities pay solar users for the power they send back to the grid. The rules are not yet final, but they pose a genuine threat to the growth of solar in California, which has more panels than any other state.
