What on earth is the logic for this?

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.

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.

7/24/14 10:31am

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

BluePete

Correct . . solar is a loss proposition for the utility
