Essentially, as a way for homeowners to make money with electricity arbitration. It also shows how the current utilities are such bloody fools...they themselves are already the ones reaping the profits on exactly this type of arbitration from people with solar panels who charge the grid on-peak and draw back from it off-peak. Even if you net out to zero and don't have a bill, the utility is still making out like bandits from you on the arbitrage. b& -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
