At least they're upfront about it this time and saying it's only going to affect future solar customers.

When I went solar, the value proposition was that by leasing I'd lock in my APS rates for 20 yrs. and they normally go up 5-7% per year. My monthly costs now vs. two yrs. ago are close to a wash, maybe saving $200/yr. since going solar. Now APS is saying they're "fighting" for us, trying to not raise rates or impose new fees on all those solar customers who did what APS and the gov't. asked them to do. But that the huge number of solar customers means fewer are paying their "fair share" to support the grid. Who couldn't have seen this coming? It's like imposing a tax or toll until something is paid for. It never goes away and usually goes up.
