Currently, I pay $10 per month to be connected to grid. Now I will need to pay $24 with zero consumption for majority of the year.

Me too.

We installed additional solar two years ago, and it's taken our net grid draw to zero, with our house providing excess power to the grid every month. We only pay the $10/month grid connect fee.

Too bad. I'd hoped never to have to pay more than that grid connect fee as a result of investing in my own power generation.

Me three. And I don't understand how a fixed fee is a new concept because I am paying the $10/month fee. So now its a guaranteed $34/month fee, for using zero kWh?!
