Florida Utility Prematurely Yanked a Solar Rebate Program, Trade Group Claims - New Times

Sometimes all it takes is a phone call. "What we've got here is failure to communicate." Click title for link to article. Here is some of it.

"FPL [Florida Power & Light], however, says that FlaSEIA's [Florida Solar Energy Industries Association's] account is wrong. Says company spokesman Mark Bubriski: "I don't know how they wouldn't have known" the funding was set to expire. According to Bubriski, all the reservations for rebates made this year will be honored. The association knew the program was going to be done soon. "We haven't gotten any complaints from any contractors," Bubriski says. "Why didn't [FlaSIA] just give us a call?"
The radically different takes on what went down is pretty much indicative of the mood across the state right now, where the bitter feelings between utilities and solar contractors are growing.
"We want solar to advance in Florida," Barsell [Wendy Parker Barsell, executive director of FlaSEIA] says. "It just seems like at every corner, we're getting beat up."
