Small-scale solar panels about the size of a door are poised to be plugged into more U.S. homes and apartments as homeowners and renters who want to harness the sun’s energy look for cheaper alternatives to rooftop installations.
“This is an example of where technology is sort of ahead of the regulators,” Oliver said, adding: “As this rolls out to more of a nationwide product, we expect it will become more mainstream as people understand it better.”
Yeah, but those rules can’t come soon enough. As long as these things are safe by average folks to use, there shouldn’t be any other reason not to allow them.
Well, they’re going to have to legislate tying to the grid. And then they’re going to have to figure out how to manufacture an imbalance where the homeowner still owes them each month regardless of the reality. Once that’s sorted out I’m sure they’ll permit them. And let’s not forget a tax for not “spending as much on utilities” in there. Like, the astronomical extra money it was to register my hybrid because I wasn’t using the pump enough. So, once the fees, extortion tax, and manipulated imbalance protocols are worked out it will be smooth sailing right into “why even install these?”
The poor C-suite at that utility company already needs to find ever-increasing profits on a basically stable business model and now consumers can just precipitate electricity out thin air? That’s moving things in the wrong direction! Thank goodness they basically own our local government and shareholder value can be maintained.
