Having read the contract,(and I am no gentleMAN, being a middle-aged lady) I notice that consumers must agree (except in off-grid applications) to purchase energy from the electric utility when consumers' demand for power exceeds their PV panels' supply, and that the Citizenre system is understood NOT to be consumers' primary source of electricity; also, the contract specifically states that there are no guarantees that adequate power will be provided by the PV panels, also that the local electric company to which the consumer is linked may be awarded surplus energy generated by consumers's PV panels without compensation to the consumer. These little items may respectively put some pennies in Citizenre's coffers and offset poor insolation conditions. One would need to read the contracts between Citizenre and the local utilities they link to, I suppose, among other references.
