Stellar Solar has been in the rooftop solar business for more than 20 years, but company co-founder Michael Powers has never seen his Oceanside, California-based operation so busy.
"We're running as fast we can right now," Powers said, "trying to handle all the incoming requests for information and people wanting to move forward to try to get something done before the rules change."
The new rules, passed in December by the California Public Utilities Commission, overhauled the financial incentives to install new solar systems on the roofs of homes and businesses across the Golden State.
