My home electric bill has basically doubled in the past 4 months! WTF is going on?

[RLXXI]

Doing my part to get out from under the light bill. I can run the house all day and night when sunny, just takes a couple days to recharge the battery array.

These sun trackers pull in the max amount of power compared to a static roof mount, have one of those as well.

About half way where I want to be as far as panels/trackers, the truck tipped me over where I wanted to be in storage capacity. Hope to have the new one producing this weekend.

It’s the PJM interconnection capacity auction! They have all kinds of excuses for the rates going up, but my opinion is it’s old fashioned collusion to block renewables for as long as possible and to cash in before the coal and gas plants retire.

No agreement required if not exporting here.
With "smart" meters they would know if you export even tiny amount of power - even accidently.

I think the meter on my garage was installed long ago, before solar net metering was a thing.
