Stop in for a cup of coffee

So, I installed and paid for solar Electricity a few years ago. As soon as I did, I had a net zero electric bill. Fast forward to now. I have a net bill of 1200.00. WTF? So a little investigating. I do not use any more electricity, so that is not the problem.... Hmm. Well, it turns out I still produce almost as much electricity as I use, it has been un commonly overcast. BUT, California, has a tier system, so if you use over your baseline, tier 1, and the baseline is real small, you are in another tier, in my case tier2. BUT they only give you monetary credit for what you produce at tier 1 prices. I call BS!!!! Something new they changed to make solar customers pay more.....I paid over 40 grand for the system!!! Frickers!!!!
Yep. They really don't want to buy your excess electricity. They have as much as their lines can hold (lol) If you produce your own and they don't sell you any, there is no profit. Without profit they cannot pay their overhead and infrastructure. Just like all the electric cars not requiring gas and in turn don't pay any road use tax. Who pays for the highway construction and maintenance then? The only thing you can do to prevent what just happened to you is to go completely self powered and disconnect yourself from the grid. Catch my drift?
