The LADWP solar program has deteriorated into chaos.
New applications into LADWP for solar are experiencing over
two month delays! Solar
contractors and homeowners are being held captive by the utility. Until given the go ahead by LADWP, we
are unable to move forward on pending projects.
In the peak summer months, LADWP has effectively shut down
the solar industry by dismissing their entire solar inspector staff. And
this isn’t the first time.
All trained and experienced solar inspectors have been
replaced by a new group of “union” employees with no background in solar
energy.
The delays are mounting. During the sunniest months of the year, when demand for
electricity is greatest and we’re asked to flex our power, we have solar systems switched off!
Calls, emails, more calls. It is nearly impossible to reach anyone at LADWP to air
grievances and find solutions.
What can be done by the City Council and the Mayor’s office
to create oversight for LADWP?
The people
of Los Angeles want renewable energy.
Sadly, LADWP has repeatedly made it impossible, and is still wasting
taxpayer money at every turn.
