Talking Points:
● NOW IS THE TIME. Net metering has fostered industry growth, yet the growing demand for solar will soon surpass the cap on net metering at the precise moment that Washington is striving to decarbonize its vehicles, buildings, and electric grid.
● WE ARE TRAILING OTHER STATES IN AN AREA WHERE WE SHOULD LEAD. Compared to industry leading states. Washington slar deployment trails more thana decade behind. Present met metered solar deployment statewide contributes less than 1 percent to the state's fuel grid make up.
● THIS BILL IS ABOUT FAIRNESS AND EQUITY. To date, net metering has not included solutions to support multifamily housing, renters, and homeowners with roofs unsuitable for solar. Net metering and Virtual Net Metering provide a massive opportunity for the State to capitalize on the Federal government's recent 10-year extension of investment tax credits related to solar energy through the Inflation Reduction Act.
● THIS IS NOT COST-SHIFTING. Far from a net cost, net metering is in most cases a net benefit—for the utility and for non-solar rate-payers.
Sample phone message: This is a message is for Representative xxx. I am calling to strongly encourage you to support net metering and HB 1427. Please continue to expand the net metering program, ensuring that Washington will be a leader in clean energy and will be able to leverage federal clean energy funds to ensure a healthy future.

Solar energy is currently a 50-state market. Of course, what entices most shoppers is the fact that using solar power reduces dependency on the grid - which means lower electric bills. It can minimize a home’s carbon footprint, too. But how does this happen? An important part of the process is net metering.- Sun Path Electric
