Minnesota homeowners and solar groups are backing a bill to prohibit HOAs from banning rooftop solar panels.
Solar advocates are concerned that the transition to a localized value-of-solar rate is happening too soon.
In Minnesota, an industry group says the rules will shrink available space for solar panels by at least 20%.
Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin so far have done little to make solar accessible to all, clean energy advocates say.
Solar installers say Evergy’s demand fee has made residential solar finances less certain and more complicated.
