    Because its deterrent for people to supply electricity when its not needed.

    I have a 10kWp system, sometimes I have to pay for the electricity I create and I dont use. There’s no maintenance costs in my system

    • Who are you paying when that happens?

      Also, the panels never wear out or get damaged or have to be cleaned or anything? This isn’t me trying to make a point against solar, I’m just questioning how there could ever be absolutely no cost to having it. More in the sense of an electric company rather than private owners.
