douglasvb, 23 days ago @ai6yr I wonder how many high income households will choose to completely disconnect from the grid.

ai6yr, 23 days ago @douglasvb It's quite difficult to disconnect from the grid, at least within a city (I don't think you can implement an off-grid system very easily and meet city standards...)

JohnJBurnsIII, 23 days ago @ai6yr @douglasvb At that flat-rare price...probably not cost effective in short term, either.

douglasvb, 23 days ago @JohnJBurnsIII @ai6yr it could be like the home owners of our rental who installed solar last year on this place because they dislike PG&E so much.

JohnJBurnsIII, 23 days ago @douglasvb @ai6yr I get the idea of independence and not wanting to support a company. To do that you have to be financially capable or in it for long term. For most of us: payoff over 10 or 15 years is an issue as that requires "another longterm loan". For many that likely won't live in a place more than a couple of years - it's not an option (e.g. employment reasons usually).

ai6yr, 23 days ago @JohnJBurnsIII @douglasvb Payoff for solar was <5 years until the new rate scheme pushed it back out to 10+.
