This is how I was finally able to get these solar companies to leave me the hell alone. I said: “So when everyone else loses power, I will too because the solar panels you want me to buy only send power to the electric company? Do you know how much sense it makes to have photovoltaic panels on my roof if they can’t help me during a power outage?”
They no longer call or visit.
To wit: “why would I buy solar panels, installed on my house, which only benefit the electric company?”
And I say that as someone who in fact pays for utility solar (at $20/mo, I find it amusing).
By law the electric company must buy the electricity you generate, but then it’s no longer your power.
