I'm going to put some solar panels on my house which are financially inefficient due to the insane regulation my socialist province has.

I think that's what makes solar so attractive to governments is that the grid and storage can be centralized.
Charging people to use the sun is literally a page from Monty Burns playbook
1 dollar USD per wH is the average right now for storage banks the size of a truck battery.
Plus you have to buy the panels enough of them to recharge the entire day for use overnight.
An average kitchen fridge will drain an entire 2000wH battery in 24 hours
Most TV's today are super green but an electric clothes drier at 240 will probably drain an entire battery in 40 minutes
Plus you have to disconnect the smart meter and go off-grid which means (at least in California) it's 40 dollars a month non-opertating fees from the DoE same with water which is like 15
