Doren, I see a future where those who are connected to the grid pay more and more BECAUSE... more and more people will DIY their own solar. So someone has to pay for the infrastructure of the utilities ... Not true. Already government is finding new ways to charge people who go solar: California proposes “blatant seizure of property” in solar ruling (PV Magazine) The California Public Utilities Commission is set to vote on a virtual net energy metering program that would force renters to sell solar generation to the utility and buy it back at a higher rate, outlawing them from consuming their electricity directly. It's like the gas tax here in California. As fewer people drive cars that require gas, the state is looking at new ways to tax EVs so that they can pay their "fair share" of road maintenance. You could possibly get around all of this nonsense by being fully off-grid, but if more and more people did that, California will still find more ways to tax you for whatever reasons they can make up.
