I am in my 5th year of a 9.8MW system. I have generated about 45MW of power and approximately 1/3 stays in my home and the rest is sold to local power company.

I am in my 5th year of a 9.8MW system. I have generated about 45MW of power and approximately 1/3 stays in my home and the rest is sold to local power company.
A couple of years after installation I started to see negative press for solar and eventually some action by my local power company. "Solar is no use to me", to quote the manager. Their actions finally killed new solar in our town. They used arguments like this, but we all suspected they were worried about revenue protection. There are 7 solar customers, a gnat's cock, so-to-speak, but they are/were scared. Local newspapers echo sentiments that solar customers have their hands in the pockets of non-solar and provide no balance.
My goal is to get a 10-15kWh storage (Tesla Powerwall probably) and then keep most or all of my power and pay the grid like a very low usage customer. I believed we could do better, but I don't see it happening.
