Is this govt medicaid? All utilities do is raise the rates so eventually you all will be back to square one. Plus the govt programs your taxes are still paying for it. Either way its a wash.
How on earth could you consider it a wash? That makes no sense whatsoever, my utility rate is climbing like a monkey in the jungle whether I have solar or not. So if I can make half of my power myself why in the heck wouldn't I?
Also, if I do a project like this again, I can opt for the batteries, which have improved drastically in the past 5 years, and tell the power company to get there crap out of my yard.
The only thing there doing that's not working for solar, and it's only anti solar, anti stove areas, kinda like mine, they will lower the rate at which they charge the customer, so the kwh that u produce aren't as valuable, but them they will raise the cost they charge you for simply having a meter from them....
Soo, if they go that route, heck with em, ill unplug and produce my own.
I saw an article just last night that over 200 power plants are being forced to close due to more regulations, more regulations, means higher prices.
Same way with stoves, if it's a wash as far as cost, why in the world would people buy them? I know when people show up at my shop with electric bills 7-800$, then return a couple months later with bills around 1-$150, there thrilled.
But, it's like this, if there is free money out there and you don't go after your share, then well, I just donno what to think lol
