A leading U.S. green group on Tuesday joined the legal challenge to a California rule banning solar contractors from installing or maintaining photovoltaic battery storage. The Arizona-based Center for Biological Diversity joined an amended lawsuit filed in San Diego County Superior Court against a California Public Utilities Commission regulation enacted last year in accordance with the wishes of Pacific Gas & Electric and two other investor-owned utilities.
' Roger Lin, a CBD senior attorney, said in a statement: 'It's outrageous that California regulators keep attacking rooftop solar and it has to stop.

'This licensing trick is straight from the utility playbook and will cause electricity rates to skyrocket while worsening the climate emergency,' Lin added.
