Where we live, the government has sold off the distribution of all power produced in the country to a private Spanish company. That means anything we produce we have to run through a meter and pay the electric company for the privilege of producing the power for your own use! We ran into this when we had 18-hour rolling blackouts every day. My husband was teaching mathematics classes online and needless to say it became impossible, so we bought a generator for those hours he needed to teach. The local electric company showed up demanding that we put the power through the meter or we would be accused of stealing power. This necessitated us going to court to get a permission to use your own power. I believe this will be the case once again when we install solar/wind power on the homestead.
