Vote No on AB 942: Defend Rooftop Solar Affordability
Redwood Energy reports on Clean Coalition’s expert commentary, warning that AB 942 threatens rooftop solar affordability and undermines the clean‑energy transition
Read articleWhile there is clear recognition that advanced inverters offer grid benefits, how to fairly allocate their costs and compensate their benefits is a topic of hot debate. Objective experts recognize that advanced inverters enhance overall power system reliability. The reactive power capabilities of advanced inverters enable distributed voltage control, which significantly outperforms centralized voltage control. Reactive power suffers far greater line losses than real power, and those losses increase as a line is more heavily loaded. Distributed reactive power from advanced inverters improves power system efficiency by minimizing reactive power line losses and reducing line congestion.
