I would live to sell my excess solar energy on the public markets for anything near retail costs. Currently PG&E has a sweetheart deal where they resell it for retail and pay me wholesale. That's approximately a 1000% markup. Not bad.
- bradleyjg 9y agoHow is that a sweetheart deal? Would you be outraged if the local supermarket wouldn't buy eggs from you at retail price? How could they possibly stay in business if they were forced to pay their suppliers the same amount of money they charged their customers? Even wholesale is generous since actual suppliers they deal with voluntarily do things like guarantee certain availability and sell in bulk.
