This is a fantastic initiative. Hopefully all parties subscribe to this.

It's win win for all involved. Only power companies would be against this.

Still far from ideal from an environmental perspective, when the alternative is the power being used in the same building that is generating it.

I just don't think this is a cost effective policy myself

Ideally we should incentivize both residential and commercial installations.

Ideally, yes. We certainly shouldn't be incentivising house batteries though.
