The issue is not so much technical as that the company is acting like a pack of weakals. (That's part weasel and part jackal, and an insult to both of those fine species.)
It's not so much that there might be a better technical solution, but that, in a sneaky attempt to recentralize power production, the company is changing the rules in ways that make alternative energy production as big a pain in the butt as possible.
That they are using their special position to wring out every last ounce of advantage and protect their cash flow is understandable, if unpleasant. That they are trying to strangle people in a back alley rather than risk a shootout on Main Street is unforgivable. They need someone to grab them by the ears and kick them in the balls under a bank of klieg lights.
