This is why your bill should separate your grid fee from your generation fee. Net metering could apply to the generation fee but not the grid fee, and your generation cost should be determined by the time you are using power (due to peaking) not just the amount. Want to escape the grid fee? Then you have to actually disconnect with full battery backup. That would promote independence and community microgrids, which would be a good thing for robustness and overall system efficiency. Someday I can easily imagine suburban and rural areas with no "big" grid connection and the grid becoming primarily a thing for industrial and high density areas.
