I am new here and am researching options for solar in Las Vegas, NV. Recently the regulators here changed the net metering agreement so that anyone with solaring and a net metering agreement gets charged a higher monthly customer rate and lower credit for power sent to grid than what it cost to purchase power. My understanding is that it is not solar that they are taxing but the net metering agreement.
I am currently on the grid with NV Energy without solar and I am thinking is it possible to install solar with battery backup but without a net metering agreement. So the idea is use power generated from solar during the day as it is needed. Excess stored in batteries and then at night use that up then after that get it from the power company but send no power to them.
The benefit of such a system is that shouldn't have to pay a higher customer fee to power company or get short changed on power sent to them because won't send any to them. In my city there is no option to leave the power company without paying a substantial fee.
I am just wondering if this is possible with current electronic power meter and if so what sort of equipment or if it is even worthwhile.
