There are lots of posters who say net metering is a bad thing. Why? I imagine far fewer houses would have solar without net metering.
I would never have done solar without net metering. I am single and my power usage is almost nothing during the day in the winter. I tend to use most of my electricity outside of peak solar hours. My payback would be 100 years or more if I couldn't bank power for use when the sun is not shining. If/when net metering goes away I'll essentially be donating a lot of electricity to the power company since I can't use most of my production at the time it is produced. I highly net metering in Minnesota will go away before my system is paid for.
