California has been a leader in rooftop solar adoption for years thanks to incentives and compensation programs. But policies from utilities and state lawmakers are removing incentives and making it more expensive for residents to have solar on their homes.

We talk with experts about the future of rooftop solar in California and what this moment means for renewable energy.
