Makes sense in Indiana...

It's a 'red' state where 'go green' has little real meaning.

We are 1:1 here in New Mexico, credit in the 'bank' (I've got 5 MW in the bank) for excess production and it stays in your account forever, with a $7.50 per month grid hookup fee only. No pay-out for excess ever? I don't think so.

Folks who bought solar years ago still get paid for the excess production but can't add panels or they go to the 1:1 credit plan.

Utilities don't like this much though, as they have to carry the power they owe you on their books as a liability, much the same as accrued vacation time (use it or lose it?). And forever? But they have only themselves to blame as the could have just gone to the crooked politicians here and got a 1:4 payout deal for excess like Indiana.

As long as the single largest drain on the grid is refrigeration-based air conditioning, for both homes and commercial buildings, and that is a higher drain in the daytime when the sun is shining, roof top solar makes a lot of sense economically and environmentally.

I can see climate-denying 'red' states taking a dim view of solar, but those stinky liberals in California?

Makes no sense to me.






First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
