I'm not the one you're addressing here, but since this concerns me too, I'll reply that unless the politics changes radically -- which seems unlikely -- I see a dim future for net metering here in the US. If I built a grid intertie system this year, I wouldn't have much confidence that it would still be economically viable, or even legal, for its entire practical lifetime. On the other hand, an offgrid system means I don't really care (personally) what the laws and the electric utilities do. I'm making my own energy. I owe Ohio Edison nothing for it. What they do to try to inhibit that is much less likely to slow me down. Yes, offgrid costs more. Freedom often does. That's its nature.
