SolarCity Will Eliminate Over 550 Job Due to State’s Anti-Rooftop Solar Decision
If solar can't make it in Nevada without subsidies, the industry has a big problem.  Nevada's population is mostly around Las Vegas, which is at 36° latitude and has 294 sunny days a year. It doesn't get much better than that.<p>Utilities are still buying back power, just at wholesale rates.  You can still use the power yourself and buy less at retail rates.
Or you can get some of Tesla's batteries and store it for nighttime use. If your solar panel output matches your air conditioning load, this shouldn't affect you.
