For now it’s legal to be off grid in California.
Sad to say, it doesn’t look like I’ll ever be able to move back to CA. Every day, in every way, it gets worse there. Bad government can destroy even the best places.
I’ll take how to push people who can afford it off the grid for five hundred Alex.
If Texas did this dumb s**t I would just flip the master breaker and tell Oncor to pound sand. My solar plus second life battery banks more than cover my daily uses. I’ll have to give back the battery banks either when they fail which could be spectacular or at the end of my testing period. I have been cycling them at 2C or more daily trying to get them to fail. The company I am testing them for is a friend of mine’s so far so good for NMC cells in one bank and LFP in the others. I gave up solar charge them too slow for torture testing so they now do charge at off peak at what the main breakers will take and dump 2C+ at peak times. They would last three times longer on slow solar charging but that’s not the point of the testing.
Cali can shove off. I used to live in Socal never again they lost their minds shame that weather is soooooooo much better than Texas.
Why are utilities communist when they are implementing mandated programs?
Yeah, I’m honored to be at the forefront of the movement to pay four times the national average for power.
So they want to access your financial records? Would that be tax returns? And then the government would say it ‘has’ to federalize power companies to distribute energy ‘fairly’?
How do they know your income?!?
My water co charges a $40 base fee, but my actual usage is only $4.
