  1. Not just solar power... on CA Considers Taxing Solar Power Generation · · Score: 5, Informative
    This proposed tariff doesn't just apply to solar power, but any kind of "off-grid" power generation:
    "Customer Generation" as used in this order, incorporates the definition in the Joint Parties' Settlement Agreement. It refers to cogeneration, renewable technologies, or any other type of generation that (a) is dedicated wholly or in part to serve a specific customer's load; and (b) relies on non-utility or dedicated utility distribution wires rather than the utility grid
    That means wind power, fuel cells, diesel generators, etc. are also covered. And since the settlement covers anything that reduced the customer's load, presumably even geo-thermal heating/cooling systems would be taxed.
