International perspective from a different country: In the Netherlands there is quite a large tax on kWh. When producing for your own consumption you don't have to pay that tax. As soon as you are 'distributing' (or, sharing in this context) you have to pay the energy tax. This led to the situation that where a block of houses installed a common system, they all had to pay taxes, more or less destroying any chance of a decent return on investment. I own a windmill in a shared context, but the return is about 1%, so more of a 'green' than financial argument. (The legal decision stems from this month, so after the link in story above.)
