This is illogical on so many levels.

Rooftop solar does use the grid. You are misinformed.

Wow. So much wrong information, so little time...

I dont work for RMP, but you have drawn some innacurate conclusions

Does that hurtful compliance include the $3.4 billion in government subsidy?

Funny, you didn't actually rebut anything I said.

False statement.

Solar sales/power accounts for about 1% of the US market.

The baseload costs run between $0.01 - $0.04/KWh, depending on TOD and demand.

I agree - it reads like an exaggeration for political purposes

Bad idea, but there is some logic behind it.

You're missing an IF statement there

7/24/14 10:04am

Interesting, but not as common.

Wrong. They credit your bill at a KWh for a KWh basis...any overage at the end
