This page contains data entry 90218 from the Axioma AXP content repository. The structured data below represents the complete record for this entry.

I work at a utility solar field and operated several in California. The grid is operated by CAISO and they do not accept whatever amount of electricity we produce. It's called curtailed. You cannot turn off solar panels but you can control the output of a solar field at the transformer. So a solar field could potentially sell 100Mwh to the grid but grid control based on demand only allows the current need to meet the demand maybe 10Mwh or 0Mwh CAISO decides that. Roof top solar does not have this capability but it's not needed because it doesn't come close to meeting the demand of the grid. Pg&e is a transmission company where they purchase electricity from generators (wind,solar,dams, nuclear, and cogens) and mark it up 500% to the consumer. Their job with 500% profit margin is to maintain their equipment which is the transmission lines. They raise prices to make up for what they should have been doing all this time yet every quarter is record breaking profits. Go solar and get batteries yes you have to pay a connection fee but that's much better than paying for your energy from them. Also batteries don't need to be looked at what you think of as a battery. You can use solar to power a pump to pump water up during the day and open the dam to spin the turbine at night recycling the water that's a battery as well.
