The elites are trying to ration electricity. That’s why they want electric cars and green energy. They will have ultimate control

There’s nothing about that in the legislation.

Also, nothing that I could find in the legislation that would prohibit double dipping.

IOW, nothing to prevent someone already receiving LIHEAP assistance from getting a better deal on their utility rates.

A 1099 issued to customer by utility

I believe that happens only if you "make" more money from selling to the grid than you pay. In other words, if the utility gives you money it's taxable income.

What little I've been selling to the grid in Alabama since September of last year, at a much lower rate than I pay when I buy power from the grid, hasn't generated a 1099. It's treated as a reduction in my expense (lower power bill, not negative power bill where the utility sends me money).

Kalifornia uses tax returns to keep tabs on who to flag to the companies...

Outlaw solar panels.
Then only outlaws will have solar panels.

Why not just disconnect from the utility.

These would not sell very well in Tornado Alley, where we get golf ball hail and tornadoes. No insurance company would cover them.

Will the serfs in Kalifornia ever get enough of being destroyed by their political decisions? Why anybody would vote for a dimocRAT is beyond comprehension. Unless you are government dependent. Insane.

I recall reading somewhere that not one solar company has stayed in business for the magic 25 years.

If it moves tax it.
If it keeps moving, regulate it.
If it stops moving, subsidize it.

Even without Big Brother taking his cut, how’s that working out for you long term? Had to replace your battery pack yet?
= = =
Typical residential installation does not have batteries.
Ties into the grid.

A stand-alone off the grid, say up in the hills, has batteries and panels only. No tie to the grid. Power company has no connection. Probably permitted by the county, so may not be ‘under the radar’.

I believe that CA requires all new houses to have solar panels.

Factor that in.

Sunpower has been in business since 1985 but last I heard they are scrambling to get financial backing to avoid bankruptcy.

A “self-cleaning” oven worked by going WAAAAY UP in the temp until every smidgeon of any spill in the oven was turned to ash-—

SORTA like cremation of a body.

IT took A LOT of electricity to do that.
