6. But if solar users are dependent upon the grid

they will need to pay for it.

These are required disclosures, and attempts to frame this as some sort of vast utility conspiracy are completely clueless.

Anybody using grid-tied solar is in fact highly dependent on the grid to keep their electricity on. If laws are structured so they do not pay for that resource, then everyone else is going to be paying a continually increasing rate (because they are paying their share of the costs plus the cost for service to the grid-tied customers), which will increase solar installations.

The only real issue is that as we go to more solar installations, we will have to have a new way of allocating grid costs to customers. Big deal.
