Reply to comment by Pretty_Inspector_791 in Going solar ads - worth it or is there a catch? by ChromeVandium11

You're almost certainly not going to produce enough power most of the year to make an off-grid system with batteries cost effective. The claims in the commercials are about net metering, which can work if you size it correctly.

In my case, even net metering was a no-go (shading issues), also it seems like the net metering rates are plummeting (in CA, OR, and ?).

Yeah, California recently slashed the rate quite a bit. I hadn't heard about Oregon. I believe I read something recently about 2023 being a year to watch for WA net metering policy but can't recall where I found that. Would be great if someone could add to this.
