As more homes generate their own power, typically with the help of state
or federal subsidies, they're buying less electricity from traditional
utilities.

Jeopardizing Grid
PG&E Corp., California's biggest, has said this jeopardizes the power
grid because there's less revenue to maintain the infrastructure. In
response, utilities are raising rates, a burden that's a slightly
heavier burden for people without solar power. In California they may
eventually pass on as much as $1.3billion in annual costs to customers
who don't have panels.




As I have said time and again in the past, Changing your source of power
only does that, you are going to pay one way or another for what you use.
