The ruling is not a &quot;de facto ban on rooftop solar&quot;, it says that the power company should pay the SAME amount no matter who provides the energy to the grid (wholesale rather than retail).  If that change kills a company of industry then there are some major problems with the business model.<p>Hopefully this will encourage energy storage systems.  Using the grid that already has enough energy as virtual storage is a pretty shady way to enhance your business.  If you cannot store energy yourself than accept that you are going to pay for someone else to do it for you.
