This generally means a small solar system. Cost per watt is higher than larger systems.
Comment on U.S. residential solar on the brink of collapse
pdqcp@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 hours agoHave you looked into partially converting your home to off grid solar instead? Basically you have your home running solar during the day and any excess/night time energy required you can get from the power company as usual

If that person lives where I do, the local power company has stupidly high rates for doing that. The only real way to save is to go completely off grid. There are two plans, one pays you almost nothing for the excess solar produced, the other charges you “high demand” rates if you exceed some arbitrary usage number at your peak even if you produced all the power yourself. It’s so freaking confusing for no reason other than to punish you for trying to offset your power bill with solar energy.

I see you’re an APS hostage, too.

SRP, but they’re pulling the same shit, protecting outdated business models.
