I live in S.C. like you. Down in the low country just outside Charleston S.C. So the weather norms and extremes are somewhat comparable.

I will be doing a second solar install maybe this summer and I have a co-op at that place their meter fee is like $28 a month it is crazy.

My co-op wants $15 service fee. I have no problem with that. However, they want to dictate the size of the system and have a bank reset date of June 1st.

I could probably live with that if I had to. Not that I want to.

But, this is what I have a problem with.

The rate has a $5 per kW fee which will be paid by Central Electric Power Cooperative (CEPCI) as long as funds are available–after which the fee becomes the customer’s responsibility.

There's no way I'm going to pay a "$5 per kW fee" for the privilege of producing my own power, for my own use and giving them the excess.

I'd rather spend that money on my own size pv array, batteries and suitable inverter-charge controller.

I will try to hook a set up this weekend and give you some actual numbers.

I appreciate you going through the trouble of checking that for me.

Thanks
