I'm looking into solar but with the rates and rate structure in my area it's not really financially beneficial to go solar. In my case if I produce 15kw at 12pm and use 9kw, then produce 9kw at 1pm and use 15kw .. that should even out but nope! I sell 7.4c per kw at 12pm but buy 11c per kw at 1pm. Having a battery could fix that but I'm not gonna spend $12500 on that.
I'm not upset at all because our rates are way cheaper compared to PG&E at 2.5x difference. The solar calculator says a solar system will net me $900 savings while my friend will save him $125k over 25 years for a similar sized system.
I still want to go green though if financially reasonable. I'm thinking what if I use a Lucid Air as daily battery? Imo sounds like a bad idea but I wanna hear what others think.
