Which is why I'm always saying it's absurd for me to go solar where I live, considering it's overcast half of the days, not directly under the sun (45th parallel), and electricity is about the cheapest in the nation at 8 cents per kWh.

I would rather install solar on someone's home in Phoenix, have them pay me 8 cents per kWh produced, and reduce their bill by whatever it delivers. I win by producing much more power than I normally would have, and they win by paying lower rates than the utility charges.

No idea why such a model does not exist.
