In summary
After a unanimous vote today by the CPUC, homeowners get smaller payments from utilities, which solar companies say will slow construction of new rooftop solar projects. But new state incentives will be available.

I saw this coming. CPUC officials are corrupt as they come.

CALIFORNIA SOLAR NEM3.0 PASSED! DO THIS NOW OR WASTE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS!
The CPUC has passed NEM3.0 which is a devastating blow to California residential solar. We have until April 13th to have a singed contract ad submitted and approved NEM Application in order to confirm your NEM2.0 status and 20 year grandfathering.

Assuming your main incentive is saving money, there is only one way this ever made sense to me.

Solar plus Batteries, sized to carry about 95% of your daily load.  Maybe a little less, but very little over.

If you aren't selling to the utility, who cares if they pay you 10% or 110% of the retail power rate.

As to the scary advertising on social media, they're just trying to stampede people into ordering now and get in on the current deal.

Wonder if prices for solar will drop on April 14th.

I am not disagreeing.

I would not invest in grid-tied solar if the cost justification was based on some law.

If I was serious about solar (and I've studied), I'd want enough batteries and big enough inverters to run everything, all day, most days.

If there was enough snow to bury the panels, then I'd use the grid during off-peak and super-off-peak to charge the batteries.
