[quote:Kirk:MV8yMDQyNTA4XzM0MzI3MjUxX0REQ0IzRTcx] [quote:Anonymous Coward 27212869:MV8yMDQyNTA4XzM0MzI3MTcxX0VEQkJFMkFB] Question for folks with grid-tie solar: I just talked to a rep. on the phone about such a system, and she says there's an auto shutoff switch on the DC side of the inverter, that power company regulations require to be there, so that the system is unusable in an outage situation. Is there a practical way to bypass or hotwire that switch? It's just so stupid to have a bunch of solar panels and not be able to use them when there's an outage. [/quote] you keep the inverter connected to the house and use a transfer switch to the power line. It has to be done correctly lest you electrocute a line worker. [/quote]

With Coal on it's way out they will soon wish for the days where electricity was made for a mere $16 a megawatt.
It will now go to $167 per megawatt in PA. They will see the adjustment on their electric bills in a year or so and cry.
0hio will enjoy an adjustment to $357 per megawatt.
I guess that is what they wanted. They swung towards Obama. There are a lot of Coal miners and Coal mines shutting down ........
Say goodbye to cheap power. Those fools in those states are going to get a rude awakening.
The market-clearing price for new 2015 capacity – almost all natural gas – was
$136 per megawatt
. That’s eight times higher than the price for 2012, which was just $16 per megawatt. In the mid-Atlantic area covering New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and DC the new price is
$167 per megawatt
. For the northern Ohio territory served by FirstEnergy, the price is a shocking
$357 per megawatt
.
