I'm already planning a ~7 KW solar setup in the spring but I may see if I can go bigger and sooner.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Oh wow, that sucks. Unfortunate that policy seems to incentivize such an individualistic and fragmented approach. Thanks for explaining though.
I believe power companies here would gladly install the necessary hardware to buy your power. Maybe the demand for green energy is higher, or the lack of freestanding homes might play a role as well.
