California just slashed rooftop solar incentives. What happens next?

California sharply reduced incentive payments for rooftop solar power taking a sledgehammer to a program that helped 1.5 million homes and businesses put solar panels on their roofs and made the state a leader in fighting the climate crisis. Critics say it has resulted in higher electric bills for households that don’t have rooftop solar panels, including low-income families that can’t afford them.
