So we're seeing commercial and industrial customers being subsidized out of residential customers in some areas -- not a new thing, this has been done for a long time in the utility business. I believe this will end.
Rooftop solar is great because it keeps utilities honest. If they start trying to screw you you can just put up panels and batteries and say "to hell with you!" However, I think it's really unwise to assume that all utilities will continue to try to screw their customers. Look at what's happening in NY. The utilities have been playing nice here. They really can deliver utility-scale at lower prices than rooftop, and they're going to.
