I think Tesla is going to do a lot better in this division over cars?

I'm north of 53*, but we do get a lot of sunlight, and even with the lower sun angle we do pretty well in the summer months. Our electrical power bills since a "deregulation" a few years back are a bit convoluted. We pay individual amounts for generation, distribution, administration, and miscellaneous taxes, franchise fees, and other small charges. When we feed surplus into the grid we are only paid the generation charge. Since I put the system in, we've signed on with one of the smaller electricity retailers that lets us opt for a generation (export d or consumed) rate almost triple the normal rate during the months we're exporting, and then switch back to the lower rate the rest of the time. That will shorten the payback period.Yes, the have false panels for the parts and edges that aren't good for solar.
I doubt solar would be any good for cost efficiency this far north.
Tesla & company are solar herpes.
The world has moved on double side panels are all the rage in Europe.
