    If he’s going to have to install batteries, would it make sense to shove all that permitting money into more batteries and go completely off-grid instead?

    At least around here, you can just tell the utility company to fuck off if you are off-grid

      Yeah, off grid might work, but the expense of adding batteries is pretty big, and the system meets most of his demand currently. So it’s a bit of a hard sell. A lot of money for a small improvement. Their shitty rules have taken the simple easy upgrade off the table.
