Yeah, thing is? That doesn't justify slapping a bunch of fees exclusively on residential solar customers.
Everyone who is connected to the grid ought to pay for the grid. Either that should be a flat fee for all users, or a rated fee based on usage. That isn't what Eversource is doing. They are merely using it as an excuse to hit residential solar customers, who are getting paid rather than paying Eversource.
So no solar customer ever pushed a single Kwh back into the grid? Of course they do, every second the
household demand is exceeded the surplus goes back into the grid.
Home solar users are not the normal customers, if they were the system would be called grid assist,
where the grid only supplies power with the panels do not, with no feed in.
I think the grid attach fees (which should go to all users) will be worked out, the real
sticking point will be the value assigned to surplus production.
I do not think it can be a single cent over the wholesale price, least we set up a system for failure.
