Here in Southern California we are at the breaking point on power supply. If as you say the SFD is a pittance, even if it amounted to 10 or 20%, that would ease the pressure on the grid so there wouldn’t have to be rolling blackouts and the like.
They simply refuse to build new infrastructure, as if keeping the power off during the day is going to resolve problems in the long run.

Sounds like your masters need to be tarred and feathered or hanged. Why help them keep a boot on your necks. Let it get tough. That is how change happens.
It’s not just the power. It’s also the highways. Our freeways our here are terribly clogged. They make some cosmetic changes, but not the type they really need to be making. I will say there are some exceptions. In Orange country they seem to be coming around. In LA a little, but still woefully inadequate.
They fought to get all these people in here, and not don’t want to up the infrastructure to handle them all.
Of course a quarter to half a billion isn’t too much to spend to education the illegals though. We’ve got money for that.
Your point was related to the power. It seems to me that if solar cells are put on your roof for free, and then you pay a monthly bill at about half the rate you used to pay, that’s not bad.
One FReeper did say that this is only possible because the government in subsidizing though. So that being considered your comments are reasoned.
If they can run this model without government funds, then I think it’s a good plan.
