Many jurisdictions in CA have made what you're describing illegal. E.g. in Berkeley, where I live, I'd need enough service for everything to run at the same time to make it past the permitting and inspections folks.

That's absurd, there is absolutely no local (your house) technical reason why this is unsafe and no grid-level reason why it's a bad idea and no generation-level reason why it's a bad idea. By doing this you shift loads off peak and flatten the demand curve for power, this is an absolute win for transmission/grid capacity (they are most efficient at 100% utilization) and a huge win on generation capacity! That is absolutely insane if you're correct, but, not unexpected from CA.
