    Yikes. My solar setup is pretty close to net-zero usage (generally covers between 98% to 102% of my usage year to year), and my county does net metering so at most I have a connection fee and one small partial bill annually.

    Admittedly, the initial buildout was pricey ($33k), but tax subsidies were still in place at the time and after the rebates the cost was only $22k. Was worth it, since it was more for ensuring stable power during outages since I work from home. The monthly power billing was an afterthought, but nice nonetheless.
