Until they are brought in line with the true goal of solar I would stay off grid with my solar.
Here they (the electric companies) love solar but want to control every aspect of it, they are trying to apply a surcharge of about $65/mo if you have grid tied solar. (currently under review)

I was not aware that the original intent was to enable solar connection more easily, until it was pointed out to me. In this area PV cost/per KWH delivered is too high for any real inroads, for PV as we are too far North.
I see it as a major development in EV charging. Charging loads tend to be much higher than residential scale solar input in most areas North of the Mason Dixon line.
