I’d say your social justice support would also work to say no one should have lobster when people in Africa may be starving.

You do not understand economics nor business.
Solar panels - overly complex, unreliable, and not cost effective, as they rely on subsidies to make them seem “affordable”. To get a great deal for very little, means that somebody, somewhere, is paying WAY too much for very little return, or none at all.
TANSTAAFL (”There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch”)
“wealth redistribution”
Imagine the local real estate prices if a Caribbean island was populated with former Europeans instead of former Africans.
Jamaican houses might fetch an average of $2 million each.
I want my solar panels charging batteries to provide power to a SEPARATE CIRCUIT!
It will power my water well and pressure tank, and gas utilities, and a few critical items like freezer and fridge.
No TV, A/C, few lights, no washer/dryer.
Means a separate 4 gang outlet in the utility room, and similar in kitchen.
Anyone considering solar, and also considering selling their house in a few years should check with local real estate agents on the headaches they face when selling solar properties. Because some of the installation schemes are based on contracts that need to be transferred, and in many cases cannot. Do you owe money on the panels etc.
Everything is in the legal Tariff agreed upon by the local utility company, and the state’s PUC. They will not make tons of variance, as it’s completely unreasonable.
I have worked in electrical distribution for two utility companies, and they are as slow and cumbersome as any governmental institution. They are purposely undermanned, and the field is always overworked.(at least in the important jobs) This in conjunction with perpetual changing scientific components/technology makes an adaptable leviathan impossible.
“You do not understand economics nor business.”
There is much uncertainty in economics and business.
I look forward to your detailed expertise to enlighten me.
“Anyone considering solar...headaches”
The solar business tends to attract the unscrupulous.
What problem are you trying to solve by writing this article?
Heinlein had it figured out for sure.
Do the utility companies actually use the electricity generated by home solar systems? Do they even collect it? Or is this a total public-private scam?
We live on a sail boat in a mooring field. We got 660w in Solar and 300ah of Lithium.
We don’t sell anything back to anyone, but, occasionally have to run our little Honda Generator for rainy days.

codetoad to setter:
“You (setter)claim a subsidy is innovation and operation funding. What a communist moron.”
Setter to codetoad: The billions US farmers get every year in subsidies is not funding their operation??
The billions in subsidies US companies receive every year from the gov’t what is it used for other than funding research, innovation and operational funding?
You seem to advocate an inconsistent and strange mixture of freedom and government control.
Do you believe that anthropogenic climate change is a threat?
Ok, do it. I have it both ways.
Freep mail me your zip code and I’ll help ya.
It’s fed back onto the distribution lines and used by local customers. It helps reduce the percentage of output towards max kVA on distribution substation transformers. I wouldn’t call it a scam, but the tax breaks are a skew in the market. Peak load will never be carried by it, or any solar. Nuclear, hydro, and gas turbine are the proper way to go, but we probably won’t...
