—”2 - The other option is to not sell back your power to the grid. You don’t pay a monthly fee,”
Do you use an inverter with ZERO EXPORT, AKA No Export or limited inverter?
Here in Illinois, the state is always looking to suck more money from your wallet.
Also, the Commonwealth Edison OWNS THE NORTH HALF OF THE STATE.
Recall 0bama buddy Ayers...the weather underground bomber... ALL CHARGERS DROPPED BECAUSE OF SOME FBI BS... his father was the very long-time CEO of com ed.
Com ed was just caught in a bribe scandal and agreed to pay $200 MILLION fine straight from the ratepayer’s pocket.
Com ed’ puppet the FOREVER speaker of the house Madigan just resigned.
Commonwealth Edison... the largest ... Illinois landholder, employer, bribe payer...
I have been looking at solar, but the BS is so deep and the inspections might cost as much as the panels!!!
Only the first 500 can use net metering...
Plus I have some very nice trees...
The survivor of this terrible event attends my daughter’s church, massively disfigured, but I have seen him smile!
I do have a zero report inverter. I also have a separate circuit panel for my main and my secondary. Both panels are powered when the grid is up, even when all of my power is coming from solar. But when the grid is down my secondary panel gets no power because it’s tied directly to the grid. My inverter won’t power those circuits (to protect the line workers) unless I flip a manual switch to connect the two panels, flip another switch to disconnect from the grid, and put my inverter in full off grid mode.
