My wife and I want to get solar panels next year after a new roof. We just got an EV, and expect that our power needs may be higher than the previous year. However, DTE does not let you connect panels that would produce more than your average electricity used in the previous year.

I suggested that we mine bitcoin this year to increase our average power consumption at less cost so that we can install more solar next. Maybe Jack was talking about me.
