In Australia if you have a solar setup you can actually sell the excess power to the companies for more than you can buy it from them. So for example if you pay 12 cents for power, you can sell it to them for 14 cents (taking into account government subsidies).
If she just spent $500,000 on solar arrays I'm sure the main cost of that wouldn't of been installation. Meaning she could now move the arrays around the farm and it would suit everyone. I think the thought behind not allowing people to mix meters is that different parts of the grid could be being fed by different power sources. If your going to spend 1/2 a million on solar one would think you'd want to be totally independent from the grid.
I guess people should think before spending is the moral of the story. Or maybe the government is evil?
