Together, we are sending a strong message to Corporation Commission utility regulators that Arizonans want more, not less, rooftop solar energy!
In reading through the many excellent comments, petition signers resoundingly agree that solar is the energy of the future and that a swift transition is vital to building a vibrant local economy, resilient communities and holding back the tide of climate change.
Local rooftop solar impacts Investor Owned Utility profits and the ACC seems determined to stymie progress. We learned from our work in Colorado that it takes a groundswell of grassroots citizen action to overcome powerful, entrenched monopoly energy interests. This petition marks the beginning of our campaign to spark a local clean energy movement in our nation's sunniest state.
We have a lot of work to do to get policies in place that give people and communities equal access to financing and a stronger voice in determining our energy future. Visit our about page to find out how you can help build a movement for Energy Democracy in Arizona!
Follow us on Facebook and Twitter (@REnewComunites) for breaking AZ clean local energy news and action. We want to hear from you so please take a minute to let us know that you think in the comments section below.
It's up to us to create the change we want, so please remind your friends, colleagues and family to sign the petition to tell our utility regulators that Arizonans want more, not less, rooftop solar!
Sincerely,
Ceal Smith
Founder, Renewable Communities Alliance

Rooftop solar system is one of the best idea to utilize the sun energy and the roof space. It does not only produce the energy but is a good income source as well. Number of people prefer investing their money on this solar system installation process.
