Yeah am also interested in why that is.
In the UK it's still viable, to the extent that the government no longer provide the ability for new customers (who are not grandfathered in) to get paid to feedback to the grid as an incentive, because it makes enough sense to do for personal reasons, to reduce bills (even with high cost UK labor costs).
I can imagine maybe electricity from the grid is a lot cheaper in NM than in UK (and EU)?

Grid rates are relatively low in NM (a reason the economics of solar are hard to justify or many, I suspect) but the major utility here has a proposal before the public utility commission right now seeking to raise rates by like 40-50% which, if solar costs keep dropping, will only boost solar adoption here.
Me, I wanna be off-grid asap. But I’m still waiting.
