Take Action

Make Your Voice Count on Energy Costs

California’s energy bills are rising, and millions are still locked out of affordable solar energy because they rent, live in apartments, or have unsuitable roofs. A community solar program will expand access to clean energy and lower our utility bills. This policy will also improve reliability for everyone, not just homeowners. The California Public Utilities Commission needs to hear from you now. Make your voice heard!

SUBJECT: Sign AB 1813: Bring Community Solar + Storage to California

Message*

Dear Public Utilities Comissioner,

I am writing to urge you to implement a community solar program in California.

Doing so will deliver real results for Californians:

• Lower bills, no cost shift. Subscribers save roughly $190 a year on average — closer to $250 for low-income households — while every ratepayer benefits and no cost is pushed onto non-subscribers.
• A stronger, more reliable grid. Paired battery storage means these projects deliver power when California needs it most, during peak demand.
• Genuine accountability. The bill requires the CEC to verify a program's value before it's ever established, ensuring compensation matches value and the program is cost-effective — a course correction, not an attack, on existing policy.
• Real equity. Nearly half of Californians rent, which makes rooftop solar structurally out of reach — exactly the gap community solar and storage are built to close, including for small businesses and Central Valley farmers.
• Broad, bipartisan support. Recent polling shows 83% of California voters want lower electricity bills as a top priority, and 80% support letting local energy resources compete with utilities to bring costs down.

Independent analysis projects a statewide community solar program could generate $6.5 billion in ratepayer savings statewide, power more than 2.2 million Californians, and create more than 160,000 good-paying jobs, along with $20 billion in new investment.

Thank you for your leadership and your commitment to affordable, reliable clean energy for all Californians.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
