I asked the freezer.question because that is why people are getting into solar. How can running wires underground be that expensive when thwy alreqdy have the personnel and equipment? Amd is that not what all thise rate increases are for, to maintain the grid. The grid is unreliable, even the U.S government sayes it is, and when you have thousands tied up in food it makes plenty of since. Like I said at the start of the thread. "Do solar because you want to not because of some payment scheme". They will cancel all thise contracts and in the end,.force you to send power to the grid for free. Always look at the long term plan, survival needs no math only will.I have no reason to doubt this is the case where you live, however this is not a universal situation.
Not sure how this is pertinent to the discussion but we have three if you must know. They all operate just fine with my off-grid backup system if we have a grid outage.
Underground power grids are phenomenally expensive to build, install and especially expensive to maintain/repair. At least an order of magnitude more expensive than overhead power transmission.
