Using the solarpowerrocks grading scales, my states each only rate a "C".
The other kicker in the fine print of the Mississippi Power agreement was the clause "Upon acceptance of this agreement, Customer shall voluntarily transfer their renewable energy credits to the Company". Ok, maybe there's no market for those REC's today, but sooner or later they may become valuable.
I could compute what my equivalent bill would be with my 4.4kW PV array using their math, but it sure incentivizes the Tesla Powerwall strategy when Mississippi Power charges $0.01581 per kWh for using a Net Meter.

I have really been looking into the power wall with the 18650s lately thinking of doing this but not really sure when there is a perfectly good power grid . But the fact of not relying on them is a nice idea. Hopefully by the end of the year i should have 8 kw worth of solar pannels sitting in my shop.
