Hi Chris,
Thanks for the reply.. Yes I was aware of those issues.. However, I didn't care much about rates (because the house is rented out - so I am not sure how to approach this, because the power company has to be involved, and I do not have contract with them (the tenants had.. and now the new tenants are inside).
However, when they issued me the bill for that one month during my stay, they even didn't know the solar was on the roof - so I complained about the final bill (because they were supposed to read the meter status and they clearly didn't).
I don't like being forced into a deal I do not really want (with all those strings attached) - I would be perfectly happy with just reduced power consumption - but they want me to get into a contract with different peak and off-peak rates, and I personally don't want it, and I certainly have no control over what my tenants may or may not want.. so it is sort of pat-position for now
Anyhow, I will have to sort it out somehow.. sooner or later.
