Is your utility incompetent? Solar and wind are the cheapest forms of energy in the U.S. or, at worst, no more expensive than natural gas, coal, or nuclear. To charge 25% more means they are doing something wrong.
I checked my energy bill.
The price is $0.17683 per kWh.
It's $0.30 in Germany that relies heavily on solar and wind, and which has closed all nuclear stations.
So, you'll have to pay 100% more for solar.
To be fair its not like Germany can drill itself out of a problem as the US did with natural gas. And Nuclear always sounds good until you see the plans to build one in your backyard.
Personally, I think energy companies are more concerned about improving solar panels and Teslas' research on Single Family solar panel use for all electricity needs.
If Tesla released a product that worked but only the rich had access to, Electric companies know that technology advancements would make it affordable to Middle-class families within 10-20 years. That would end the monopolies that most of these energy companies operate under.

What will you say if your neighbor decides to build a 280-feet-tall wind turbine in her backyard?

The cheapest Tesla S cost $57,400 in 2012. The cheapest one costs $69,000 in 2021.
What are these technology advancements you're talking about?
It's a trick question.
I've had solar on my house since 2009. It does not work 24/7.
An energy grid utilizing solar is not the same thing as putting a solar panel on your home.
