Renewable generation surpassed coal and nuclear in the U.S. electric power sector in 2022

11. You bring up a valid point...

I have a small grid tied system, I had to register it's capacity in order to be able to connect to the local grid. They know what it's capable of producing but don't know exactly. What they do know is how much it produces in excess of what I use. Of course they can project how much $$$ they lost based on prior years usage. But to your point, who is keeping tabs on these systems?

These small installations not only add power to the grid, they take load off the grid at peak demand hours.

When my system is producing more than I use and I am sending power to my neighbors - what is the benefit to a local supply vs power being sent from 15 miles away? (addressing line loss)
