Arkansas regulators have voted to grandfather existing solar customers into retail net metering rates for the next 20 years, according to a report in Arkansas Business.
The Public Service Commission made other decisions palatable to the solar industry as well, including to allow seasonal net metering for agricultural customers and maintain the original net metering rates with the grandfathered system if the home is sold.
Last year, the state legislature enacted Act 827, directing the commission to review changes to the net metering compensation system. Another order on future solar rates for new solar systems is expected in the fall.
