Despite all the heat in the discussions this is something that was unavoidable.
Grid tie is not a scalable idea as it is today, everyone who have minimal knowledge of the physics of AC generation and distribution kind of new that the day when grid tie systems without storage would have to pay their fair cost at least to the system.
- hedora 5y agoThey’re charging ~ 100% the price of generation for distribution (and time shifting/storage) of the excess power, and they’re doing it regardless of whether you have your own energy storage. On top of that, there’s a separate part of the proposal that forces houses on the solar rate to pay more for peak hour energy than non-solar customers. Assuming that’s actually what it costs to maintain the grid, it’s getting to the point where we may as well just abandon the power grid.
