Seems like they need a middle ground - not selling at wholesale prices or full retail. Putting the price at wholesale doesn&#x27;t take into account the costs for the homeowner (or a 3rd party company like SolarCity) to invest in solar panels. Selling at retail doesn&#x27;t take into account cost of grid maintenance for the power companies.<p>It also doesn&#x27;t make a lot of sense to me that they charge higher fees to connect to the grid.<p>Definitely seems like a big win, short term, for the power companies. It seems like a big lose for renewables. Everyone seems to focused on whether it&#x27;s perfectly fair or not - whereas I would say the goal of getting to environmentally friendly energy must weigh into the discuss - but hey, that&#x27;s me.<p>Side note: I would be curious how much grid maintenance costs the power companies relative to their other costs.
