You probably got some "tax credits" that are, legally, a pre-payment for the expected generation of carbon offset credits, and your system has to report metrics to verify the actual electricity generation so that the credits can be created over time. Did you read all the fine print of the contracts you signed?
We did, and it left a pretty bitter taste in our mouths.
- hotnfresh 3y agoOh, I’m sure it was mentioned in there somewhere and I just missed it. But utility Internet-connected meters and such seem pretty reliable at this point, if they just wanted to monitor. Instead it’s the usual smart-home garbage with an app and probably 500x the computing power it should reasonably need, basically guaranteed to cause problems sooner rather than later. Would’ve called it off if I’d noticed that up front.
