But that's just the policy of YOUR power company, not a universal. My local utility even offers a certain number of partial rebates for the cost of home solar installations. (There's apparently enough demand that they had to set up a lottery to decide which applicants will get the rebate each year.)
Second, you seem to think $2-3K for a grid-tie inverter is too much, but how much does it cost to buy an electric car? Anywhere from $35K for a Leaf to $110K for a Tesla, so worrying about the cost of the inverter seems to fit the "penny wise, pound foolish" paradigm.
