Our public electricity providers need to address the cost factors that have caused this or they could be in some trouble.
Off-grid hybrid system is already cheaper in San Diego, San Francisco, HI, MA, CT & NH.
Costs of hybrid system (solar, diesel generator plus batteries) returned in six years in San Diego.
Falling DER & rising grid costs may make mass grid defection real.
An important question for our media though is why aren't data centers doing this?
