I certainly wouldn't recommend solar

I had solar installed back in February. CFE credits only about 5% of my production and somehow despite my best efforts to conserve, I'm consuming almost 3 times the energy I was before the installation. I am literally paying more for electricity now than I ever did in San Diego. Last bill was almost $8500! Of course, CFE is completely non-responsive.

Obviously, there is something else wrong than just the fact that you installed solar panels. Something is not right. Have you asked your solar installer to check the system? It sounds as if adding battery backup and maybe an emergency generator and then detaching from the CFE grid might be a viable option if CFE won't respond to your legitimate concerns.

P.S. Electricity bills far higher than those is San Diego? Now there is a scary thought potentially suitable for the theme of a horror movie.
