Just the first four months of 2023 account for a sizeable 21% of all solar PV applications received since records began.” The city said that it will start paying businesses cash for their excess solar in June, while residents will be able to start selling their power for cash later this year.Hill-Lewis added that the city will kickstart its Power Heroes campaign later this year, which will incentive households to sign up for remote demand management during peak hours.
