California SB-43 created the Green Tariff Shared Renewables program letting LA County renters and shaded-roof homeowners subscribe to community solar shares without on-site panels. LA County Waterworks pilots and Southern California Edison Green Rate provide enrollment paths countywide.
California Senate Bill 43, codified at Public Utilities Code §2833, created the Green Tariff Shared Renewables program letting residential and small-business customers subscribe to off-site solar generation built within their utility service territory. Southern California Edison serves most of LA County and offers the Green Rate and Community Renewables programs. LA County Department of Public Works Waterworks Districts have piloted community solar at unincorporated facility rooftops, sharing benefits with low-income households through the Solar on Multifamily Affordable Housing program. Subscribers receive bill credits for their share of generation at avoided-cost rates set by the California Public Utilities Commission. Income-qualified customers receive enhanced 20 percent discounts under the Disadvantaged Communities Green Tariff.
False enrollment claims, double-counting renewable energy credits, or marketing community solar without CPUC certification under SB-43 violates Public Utilities Code §2833, with CPUC fines, restitution to subscribers, and program disqualification for the developer.
