Solar is Under Attack! We Need Your Help.

Solar is under attack in the state of California and we need your help!
The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) recently released a proposed decision on net metering (NEM 3.0), the state policy that makes rooftop solar MORE affordable for consumers of all types, crediting them for the excess energy produced. This decision, backed by investor-owned utilities, would dramatically increase the cost of rooftop solar, and reduce the credit consumers receive for contributing their excess solar energy back to the power grid.
As of 2021, there were more than 75,000 solar jobs JUST in the state of California*, with the state ranking #1 for solar jobs, and up 10.2% from 2020. This proposed decision would, in turn, cost thousands of solar professionals their job and their livelihood. We can’t sit by and let this happen.
The California Storage + Solar Association (CALSSA) leads the fight in providing energy solutions to all California consumers in neighborhoods and communities throughout the state, ensuring that EVERYONE benefits. Powur passionately supports CALSSA and would like for you to stand with us in donating to raise funds for a MASSIVE Media Campaign targeted directly at Governor Newsom. With California leading the nation in the expansion of solar, there’s no time like the present to put our money where our mouth is!
What does my donation go toward?
CALSSA’s goal is to raise $250,000 to launch an ALL-OUT Solar Media Frenzy the week of Dec 1 - 7, leading up to the CPUC vote on December 15.
CALSSA's media blitz will include a range of tactics to get the message out. All options are on the table like:
- Billboards in key locations
- Printed media spots and ads in major California and national publications
- And the more we raise the more options we have to go big on things like detailed spot radio ads, social media ads and others with urgent, clear and direct messaging
Your donation is not for Powur. We are simply partnering with CALSSA to get the word out. Your donation will go DIRECTLY in its ENTIRETY to CALSSA and specifically for the purpose of a massive media blitz between now and the crucial final decision date, December 16. In fact, Powur will be contributing an additional $50,000 on top of anything raised here, and Powur will also be covering all fees incurred on your donations so 100% of your money will go directly to CALSSA for this media campaign.
Now is the time to mobilize and fight! Your voice matters. Make it louder by partnering with us on this campaign. Let’s tell Governor Newsom: Don’t tax the sun, solar is here to stay!
