Generator power is quite expensive, so that particular attack is probably not profitable.

    That's a significantly different attack, with different economics. It involved selling electricity instead of just buying less of it, and profiting from government subsidies. Clearly that can work if the subsidies are high enough.

      > Route power from your diesel generator through the meter that's meant to be recording your solar generated power. the original comment was about selling mislabeled energy. Not sure what attack you have in mind.
