As solar power producer, we get about a dollar a kWh
for solar energy. As electricity customer we can
choose the amount of solar energy you wish to
purchase. This is an adjustable surcharge that allows
to pay such high prices for solar energy. And guess what,
The demand for solar energy by far surpasses the supply.

So, I'm planning to have a solar roof in addition to
the heatpump running on a well.
