It was paused but California was proposing Net Metering 3.0 rules in which you would have to pay $10/mo for each kw/hr of grid-tied solar panels. So for a small 5kw/hr panel setup (15 panels at 370w each), they proposed that new solar homeowners would pay $50/month to PG&E simply for having 15 panels. Most people I know have double or triple that.
Will Prowse on Youtube has great videos on off grid solar including equipment that is all UL certified. Getting over the hurdle of roof mounting panels or ground mounting up to code (seems to mainly be around using conduit for the wiring), I could buy a pallet of 10 solar panels, a converter/invetor all in one from EG4, and an EG4 5kw lithium iron phosphate battery for around $6000.
