5. Somehow I don't see my having solar

means that poor people are subsiding supposedly rich me.

I live in New Mexico, and I looked into getting solar for my small place about 8 years ago, but at the time it didn't make financial sense. Now it does, so I got it. My electric bill has dropped from about $50/month to $8.20, which is apparently what the local electric company, PNM charges to keep you hooked up. I am selling electricity back to them, and I need to set up getting a check from them every so often.

Unless I am completely misunderstanding what you are intending. In which case, apologies for my obtuseness.
