Tesla's (TSLA
-0.7%) energy division is encouraging its employees to object to a proposal from the California Public Utilities Commission that would effectively make solar power more expensive for customers, according to CNBC.
The proposal would lower payments to customers who generate excess solar power that is sent back to the grid and add monthly grid-connection charges.

That could reduce incentives for customers to get solar power systems from Tesla and its competitors.
Talking points provided to employees include submitting a comment to regulators and joining the Solar Rights Alliance.
Although Tesla's energy division is currently experiencing some supply chain issues, Seeking Alpha contributor Invest Heroes says those problems are temporary and the business will do well in the future.
