Southern California Edison rebate.
Jan 20 2024 09:07PM more by lamar
Tags: Random

I had solar installed in October 2023. I've been asking where's my rebate. Edison said until the state issue them rebate money they have no money for rebates. I think Newsom has overspent California's budget so I won't be getting a rebate anytime soon.

I was wondering the same thing. I got one or two checks, but then they stopped arriving. Thanks for checking. It seems impossible now talk to an actual person from Edison over the phone.

Solar scam. Your panels have 1/2 life. They will be outdated in 5 yrs.

Thank Newsom. He’s such a genius. Wait till 2035 when you will not be able to charge your EV or run your AC.

Those who voted for the drunken sailor.
He spends money, your money like a drunken sailor.

A couple of years ago, he pretended to be Tarzan when he had ninety eight billion dollars for a surplus.

So funny.

Meanwhile the California state has recently passed the law to provide Medical to illegal immigrants. This will cost Californians billions of dollar yearly and guess you will pay it. Taxpayers.

not sure what you mean bby rebate. Are you referring to SGIP? I have attached a link to get current info on that. I agree that it is impossible to contact a human at SCE. I wrote a letter and eventually someone called me back. The link has a link to check SCE status in the program.

I love it that some of you are still stupidly hating on solar. During the high gas times I didn't pay a cent to drive my cars. I have three AC units running in the valley all summer and my electric bill is "We owe you."

Keep sleeping on it.

Also...there's a half-life on BATTERY storage because of how fast the tech is advancing...NOT on panels. I've got over 50 on my house and they're all top of the line.

You can choose to keep being suckers or you can realize that time marches on...forward.

It's a wash. Electric bill $0.00 Solar Sempre Inc. $376.89 x 15 yrs half life or not, by the time you make your last payment you will need a new system th size of a shoe box.
Just like cell phones, the processors and hardware get smaller.

Going solar made no economic sense to me. Their 'rights' to my house was a deal breaker. No fucking way.

its typically a tax credit
should get one from fed and state tax
but youre gonna be on the 2.0 plan, sucks.

i installed 5+ years ago, bought panels outright (no leasing).
guessing they have paid off by now, maybe even x 2.

Stunts - there are more ways to get solar than there are solar dealers. You bought your papers outright(?), great. So did others in my family. Worked out good for you? Great.

But you are not a solar expert on all of the constantly changing offers out there. Fuck off if you think you are.

Interesting. Have you also asked your local representative about passing a pollution tax which would alleviate your own personal expenses a great deal more than solar whateverthefuck you mean? Think about it. And while you are at it think about your children. If you do not have children then think about the children you would like to have eaten who might taste better without pollution.

Stop paying Property Taxes and see how far your Right's go.

Stop paying the Solar bill and see how far your rights go.

Stop paying car registration and see how far your Right to travel goes.

Stop paying and see, ...

My neighbor paid cash for top line solar about 4 years ago and got money back every month cause the PUC forced Edison to pay 10x the value of his excess electricity. When net metering was nixed, first of this year I think......now his bills are high and he's pissed off that the deal changed lol

His payback period under best case scenario was 8 years, now it's at least double.

So, I guess if you think feeding at the ratepayers trough is a good deal til they goballsdeep in your ass one day........then solar is for you.

CA removed the outrageous subsidies and now the solar companies are laying off and going BK

Not to mention all the panels are made in China, so you're sending your cash to the Chi-coms

GBD

the year of installations establish your deal with edison, so if he installed 6 years ago, he will be on the same plan for 20 years.

the net metering 2.0 ended in april 2023, now it is called Solar Billing Plan.

Yeah, i don't have the deets right for sure.
I recall him starting to bitch about a year or more ago, so was def wrong on the timing
But, he's NOT locked into his original plan for sure
They took away his credit for overage electricity and now he pays out of pocket

I don't pretend to know the deal cause I knew it was just more CA subsidized bullshit and never planned to do solar myself.

Why buy Chi-com stuff and have rate-payers subsidize me?
Gotta stand on principal somewhere, even if it hurts my pocketbook a bit

Fuck Solar, Fuck Wind and Fuck EV's, total bullshit racket
Which Americans have figured out and aren't buying anymore

Hertz getting rid of a bunch of Teslas, Ford cutting way back on the Lightning.
79% more problems with EV's than ICE's
Chicago EV's can't be charged in the winter, lol
CA Solar installers facing BK

Here's a fun fact:

Buried in the fine print is the fact that EV's get an artificial boost of almost 6x their carbon rating by the Feds. All the car companies are in on it but the Eco-Nuts just objected to it lol. Now that they have to do it on the up-and-up, the car companies WILL NEVER reach their goals and are likely facing BK unless Biden retracts his plan.

Just complete garbage and NO science

Yeah, that wind craze. I was riding on the 10 past those windmills a few years ago. I couldn't believe how many were idle, I'd guess 70%. Not from lack of wind, the ones that were spinning we're turning fast. The ribbons had been long cut, the politicians and news did their festivities but when the buzz goes away details like maintenance, and actually meeting the promised hype is long forgotten. Paid for, again, by suckers.

I was told they were a tax right off for the rich. They purposely sat idle to show the loss.
IDK, that's just what I heard.
I mean, I wasn't eavesdropping that day at the Kobe House when I was sitting at the sushi bar listening to these to high level honkys cutting it up. I did get a few stock tips that day tho, but all that other shit I heard about the wind turbines, I swear I didn't hear shit.

You're prolly right for once, Comrade Butz

But, rich people wouldn't do it unless the STUPID FUCKING GUVMINT gave them a giant ass dollar for dollar tax credit.......no tax credit, no fucking bird choppers.....it's that simple

In fact,without the massive government subsidies........none of the solar/electric/wind crap would have a buyer except for a few of eccentric whack jobs

You blame the rich guy who's simply acting in his best interest, while you give the idiots making the rules (to the detriment of society as a whole) a pass, lol

That's how I know you're a commie.
Only moron Progressives do that shit.
