Interesting post from Energy Reporter Sammy Roth of The Desert Sun.
A new electricity rate structure soon to be offered by Southern California Edison could make it easier for businesses and nonprofits to go solar. 
Known as “Option R,” the new rate structure — which could be available to commercial electricity consumers as soon as January — lowers demand charges that are difficult to reduce with solar panels but which can account for half of a business’ monthly power bill. At the same time, Option R increases electricity rates — the portion of the bill that can be substantially reduced by adopting rooftop solar.
The result is a rate structure that shortens payback periods for solar-generating systems. Brad Heavner, policy director for the California Solar Energy Industries Association, said Option R “greatly expands the market” for rooftop solar at businesses and nonprofits.
