Last month's solar electricity bill was $0

The statement said my system produced zero kwh so my bill was zero.

My highly advanced logical mind reasoned that, since the sun's rays hit the solar panels regardless of weather, it's not possible for a functioning solar panel array to produce zero energy.

Soooo I emailed their customer service and say, hey, doesn't it raise a red flag in your system when my panels stop producing electricity? Apparently the answer is NO because they decided to send a technician to inspect the system only after I brought it to their attention.

Sure enough, he found a relay or something had burned out so he replaced it.

So the system that they paid to install on my roof has not been producing energy for close to 2 months now, and they never would have lifted a finger to investigate had I not pointed it out. I can only assume they get paid so much by BGE to install new systems that collecting monthly energy fees isn't a high priority.

In 5 billion years your solar panels will be useless anyway ** -- HokieDan95 03/23/2017 11:31AM

I blame Elon Musk ** -- MEHOKIE 03/23/2017 09:46AM

How ungridful of you to complain. ** -- PhotoHokieNC 03/23/2017 06:47AM

Just think of the $$ in joule! ** -- agray123 03/23/2017 09:11AM

Yeah, watt you said. ** -- Trench Hokie 03/23/2017 07:53AM

There's no place like a (solar) ohm. ** -- DonHo-kieHi 03/23/2017 07:55AM

Turning on some AC/DC now to clear this thread from my mind ** -- BTHokie 03/23/2017 08:35AM

This thread is amping up nicely ** -- statmanfromHCyrs 03/23/2017 08:40AM

Shocking, right? ** -- vt90 03/23/2017 08:41AM

We really sparked one up ** -- HokieDevil 03/23/2017 08:52AM

Then you need to get plugged in ** -- HokieDevil 03/23/2017 09:48AM

That's Henry Gross -- 48zip 03/23/2017 10:14AM

Maybe we need a panel discussion on the subject. ** -- santafe 03/23/2017 10:19AM

This thread have pretty high capacitance ** -- HokieDevil 03/23/2017 10:26AM

Wire you surprised? ** -- 48zip 03/23/2017 10:35AM

Wire nut? ** -- PhotoHokieNC 03/23/2017 10:40AM

Not me, but I'll be anode man when we don't have one w/o a repeat pun -- statmanfromHCyrs 03/23/2017 10:40AM

It's a highly charged thread. ** -- HokieDevil 03/23/2017 10:52AM

It is well grounded, and I appreciate PNC taking the lead. ** -- Guy LeDouche 03/23/2017 11:10AM

It's time to switch subjects. ** -- YardBird 03/23/2017 11:19AM

Don't be so negative ** -- HokieDevil 03/23/2017 11:40AM

He's a real brownout, for sure. ** -- PhotoHokieNC 03/23/2017 11:46AM

Sounds like more of a burnout to me. ** -- JKHokie-RunFor32 03/23/2017 11:49AM

Regardless, it's a transformer-ative experience. ** -- PhotoHokieNC 03/23/2017 11:55AM

I like how we're all conductoring ourselves ** -- HokieDevil 03/23/2017 12:52PM

No reason to get all amped up. ** -- JKHokie-RunFor32 03/24/2017 08:57AM

Twitter: replaced "Breaker, breaker!" ** -- PhotoHokieNC 03/23/2017 09:48AM

Well it was kind of cloudy last month. ** -- Stork 03/23/2017 06:38AM
