Reply to comment by Correct_Influence450 in FREE ELECTRICITY! Credit Suisse analysis says Inflation Reduction Act will produce solar modules for two pennies a watt in Ohio, while federal tax credits will cover 50% of project costs. by manual_tranny

Whether you have solar or not, some electric companies will charge you a standard amount if you don't go over a certain kWh per month.

Yeah but this is a specific “you have Solar so you have to pay us per kWh installed” not even just the minimum charge.

I agree. I was just responding to the comment that made it seem you can get out of paying electric companies some how. Which you can't.

Hmm. If you’re 100% self sufficient, what are they going to do if you don’t pay the fee? Disconnect you?

Yes, disconnect you. That fee is for the processor to remain connected while not using their utility

They are a business, they can lobby. Heck they may make it legal to send you to collections and ruin your credit. Who knows. The most important part is they do lobby to get laws passed that benefit their profit goals.

I think that’s more for people that generate a ton of extra and sell to the grid on sunny days but still need grid tie for night/clouds/etc so they can’t just straight disconnect.
