minimal payback rates on solar power to the grid (when unused by home owner/business owner), and not just in Kentucky.
Work-around? None presently very affordable since installing own distribution facilities is very expensive, and, leasing distribution facilities from the power company to major consumer of energy consumers is probably too.
What's really funny about this is that they (the GOP who rigged the 'rules') didn't help the fossil fuel power industry at all in Kentucky. You'll still have companies and/or home owners still putting in solar where advantageous to do so, and thus, they'll reduce their fossil-fueled energy bills anyways, and don't care about reselling surplus energy.
Or, simply sell the solar energy generated at the low rates mandated by these idiot pricing requirements, to a valid energy company within each state, transport the energy across state lines, where's it is regulated by the Feds (at probably better rates), and reship the rebranded solar energy to its originating point, and offer at same rates as usual energy sources (coal plants, atomic energy plants, etc. (sources of power are all merged into 1 feed, so no distinction is made between the different types of generated energy, energy is energy, no matter where it comes from)).
Just speculating here.
