Solar Guerilla danger? [RE-wrenches]

Jeff,

Looks like the promotion of guerilla systems IS having the desired effect.
You see, it needs promotion as it is aimed at encouraging the utilities to
be real friendly to grid intertied RE or people will do it anyway under
the table... that's the whole point. If they don't know about it, it will
have no effect. Of course the systems need to use UL approved intertie
equipment as well as being constructed to code. No one is advocating
dangerous systems, just trying in whatever way possible to get "them" to
let "us" put clean energy on our grid.

In our local newspaper today was an article by PacifiCorp local
representative boasting about their new offering to customers to get a 20%
credit on their utility bill if they reduce their loads 20% from last
years numbers. That's great except their other hand is charging an
outrageous $500.00 interconnection fee for grid tied RE systems. Plus it
does not take into account those of us that got on the efficiency
bandwagon years ago... I guess I should have been wasteful last year so I
could qualify for the credit this year... go figure.

Rant off...

TC
