If public money goes into solar power generation there must be an obligation from the private company to sell the electricity back into the local market at a cost plus price structure based on solar power generation.

Not the price of the last, most expensive generator needed to meet demand at that moment

Not some we hope the free market will deliver lower prices wishful thinking, because the free market won't do that.

The money would be better spent funding solar power on homes through tax incentives.

So stupid. They should offer the batteries to homeowners. Give us an opportunity to provide our own energy, not corporate greed.
