Obviously getting meters updated & letting folks push power to the grid is better. But there's also neat solutions showing up like the Zoltux, which is an 800w solar+inverter kit that also monitors the power feed to the home, and never nets power to the grid, only offsets power you're using. For markets where there's encumbrances to solar its an interesting technical option, since no net metering infrastructure is needed (and you don't have to rewire your home like this submission https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45476820 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45476820) It's also slick as hell seeing DJI for example add grid-tie capabilities to their Power 2000 power station/ battery. Capable of 1800W solar, but gained grid tie after the fact. https://dronedj.com/2025/09/01/dji-power-2000-energy-grid/ https://dronedj.com/2025/09/01/dji-power-2000-energy-grid/
