Ohio Couple Sues City Over Rooftop Solar Fees
A dispute in Ohio highlights the tension between utilities and customers over rooftop solar energy.
Utilities often oppose rooftop solar, as it reduces customer reliance on the power grid, eating into their revenues.
In Bowling Green, the city's municipal utility imposes a monthly charge on customers with solar panels, with additional fees for those using batteries to store surplus power.
- The charge is roughly $56 per month for residents Leatra Harper and Steven Jansto.
- The couple claims this charge is an unlawful "tax or penalty".
- Combined with the city's partial payment for power fed back into the grid, it almost doubles the payback period for their $37,000 solar system.
The city's utility says the charge is only fair to customers without solar, but the couple argues it’s an illegal penalty.
