Exactly....that is one reason I've been "dragging my feet" about looking into a solar system. I did read the article about Clint Eastwood, and his private golf club in the Carmel area. It makes absolutely no sense at all that he can't sell the excess power back to the grid....and hopefully that will change. Without the incentive to be able to sell excess power, it takes away some of the motivation to go through this expense for a solar system.

In our area, quite a few people have solar heating for pools or their water heaters....but there aren't too many private systems (wind, solar) that really are capable of producing power. There was one homeowner who was highlighted in a local news story and he does use solar power to generate most of the electricity for his home.
