Buyers remorse at or near 100%.
I say screw it, do not buy your own solar unless your electricity provider is desperate for you to.
Yep Michael Moore was right the new generation green energy is pretty much a scam.
BOO!

I had hopes that a coop would be less draconian than a utility company would be. But I guess small people with low self-esteem like to inflict petty inconveniences and penalties on others ... because they can .. no matter what size the organization is.

Are you able to take the solar offline (no grid tie) and just turn it off when your batteries are full and you have no further loads?

I have a very small system (3 solar panels) and while I am experimenting it is definitely NOT grid tied. Too much paperwork.
