Writing for Truthout, Craig Morris says, "If you live in the US, do your power provider a favor: spend $20,000 putting solar panels on your roof. Then your poor utility will not have to buy so much power on the expensive spot market. Your utility may even thank you by taking some of the solar power you generate off your hands for free!"
