I don’t get to sell it at retail, only offset power used at night, as I called it, a free battery. The only power I can sell is excess generation at the end of the year true up. Sure, it’s a good deal. I added $120/mo to a 15 yr mortgage to replace $500+/mo electricity bill. $380+/mo in my pocket every month. I wouldn’t tell my tax preparer to “skip all the deductions, I want to pay more“. Nor would I bend over to the tune of $500+ every month when I don’t have to. Almost $25k in savings since installed.

Think about what your power company is paying for your daytime (non-peak) unreliable electric power, compared to what the power company pays to deliver reliable nighttime power to them and to you.

Sure, it’s a good deal.

For you. Not for your neighbors. Often in the suburbs it's part of the "Stick it to the power company" attitude. In my rural cooperative we become informed and quickly lose that attitude.
