SB 698: California Solar Initiative: distributed energy resource equipment lists.

The bill aims to amend existing laws related to energy incentives. The state energy resources conservation and development commission is authorized to establish distributed energy resource equipment lists with rating standards for solar energy systems, distributed energy storage systems, and electric vehicle service equipment. These lists will outline the eligibility criteria for equipment and components to receive ratepayer-funded incentives. The commission must also adopt guidelines for these lists to ensure consistency and fairness. The bill defines various terms related to these equipment lists, including solar energy systems, distributed energy storage systems, and electric vehicle service equipment.
