>and disconnect from the grid. Pretty simple for the awful, awful power companies to do some lobbying to not allow this - just make it so that if you have solar, you're required to have active electric service to your house, even if you're not an active account holder to any power company. I have heard there's parts of Mexico that do this - you're not allowed to run your house on only solar, you're required to be hooked up to the grid and you can only sell your solar back to the grid, it can't be used directly to power your home. So you're forced to sell at a certain rate and then buy it back at a certain rate.
