  Exactly why personal solar energy will hit a tipping point as the rates rise drastically as more users use zero to negative energy. Those that cannot afford solar will suffer, but the Environmental impact will probably be reduced.

    I don’t think it even has much of a impact from a environmental perspective. It is going to be much better to do it at scale.

    Grid attached solar contributes to the overall usage which brings the cost displaced back down. Personal solar is almost always a net positive for the customers, the power company, and the homeowner with the solar. Not to mention the environmental offset that comes with generating your own power.

        If the shareholders are smart, they’ll buy shares of the solar providers and solar maintenance companies.
