Good neighbor George, I have no idea what the law does or doesn't do. It may or may not have something to do with whether or not the utility allows home solar systems grid tied into their distribution. I think now in Indiana some allow grid tie and some don't. I have used solar in the RV for years and love the independence and freedom it affords me, and so long as I like it that's all that matters (screw Billy Bob if he don't like it lol) and I wouldn't be without it as I can dry camp free (still with the comforts I like and choose) in the Utah and Colorado mountains for weeks on end. If we sell the farm and downsize in my next and last (at my age) smaller super energy efficient home, I'm going to utilize a vast array of energy saving features including but not limited to wind and solar and geo thermal and earth sheltering and super insulation and passive solar and other methods to reduce my dependency on the grid. The Amish believe it or not near me are into 4000 to 6000 watt fixed earth mount tilted arrays using inverters and of course, with no grid tie availability, they use battery energy storage which IS REALLY EXPENSIVE. If a person can grid tie they can get by without that huge battery investment (subject to limitations). As far as solar payback if any, that's strictly a persons own free choice, regardless if it pays off in 7 years or NEVER lol. If you want to live where the utility cant provide service but want electricity, you must make your choices. If people consider solar or wind or super insulation or geo thermal or passive solar a bad investment because it doesn't payback when they like or never will, they are free to do without it, but in my next home and already the RV I love it and wont be without it, regardless of any payback calculations for the freedom and independence and joy it brings me to NOT be slave to a utility.

To each their own okay???
