@Stacie: If you have your own solar panels and batteries, they can't charge you. Solar rays are free.

@Lamberto 1) Not where I live. Pwr Utilities are Govt sanctioned monopolies, you pay for grid maintenance no matter what.

@Lamberto 2) It is illegal to unhook your house from the power grid. Even if you produce all your own you still have to pay.

@ Lamberto 3) Solar panels and betteries are an expensive contraption, and they wear out.

@ Lamberto 5) If you are not paying your bills someone else is. I suspect it is your parents.

If it flies, floats, or f----, it's cheaper to rent than to buy.

@Mads 1) Many places here you can build and power off-grid. But existing homes in CA that are connected cant be unhooked....

@Mads 2) ...They want our money. Thats why the population of CA is falling despite hordes of illegals arriving.

@Stacie: If you stay on the grid, is it then legal to establish solar or wind offgrid for your PC's and other devices?

You can add as much renewable as you want. But you are still compelled to pay the utility even if you dont use it.

The other nifty thing they do is buy your surplus power at like $0.02 per Kw-h and then sell it back to you at $0.40 per Kw-h

@Stacie: I read about AMBRI batteries. Sounds good.Then you can keep you own generated power and don't have to sell.

@Stacie: Here we may disconnect. But when ongrid even no use, we pay for powerlines, transport secure line etcand VAT on top

@Laird Battery is a necessity but panels, inverters and batteries cost money. No free lunch.

This is insanity. Obviously you do not need to tell anyone you're making your own power if it's not connected to the grid.

If it's connected, they want to make sure you have decent inverters so you don't put in rubbish power.

If you make enough of your own power, disconnect entirely, otherwise you have to pay a bit a month for the connection.
