| Solar panels added to a grid is not plug and play. When you're connecting solar to a municipal grid (which is what most homes are connected to), it could theoretically be taxed or even subjected to a tariff. The "added" power (often excess) is monitored for billing credits/payout/other, among other reasons like grid integrity. |

I still do not understand the point of what the GP was trying to make w.r.t. "taxes". |

| Voters vote for Republicans that drive up TCO for EVs, like higher annual registration fees. |
