The problem with Net Metering is that some politicians don't understand how electricity (and energy) works, but feel like they need to "do something" in order to tackle climate change. Net Metering was a great way to subsidize solar when it was a niche market. Now it's not. IMO, we should stop subsidizing solar and start subsidizing home batteries. IE, only allow "Net Metering" if there is a battery, sized to match the panels, that the power company can control. This way, we can make the system "win-win." The consumer benefits from cheaper electricity, and the power company benefits because they can tap the generated electricity when it's needed most.
