Would they not tax the panels whether or not they were attached to the grid?

They don't actually tax the panels (yet), but they tax the amount of power you put back onto the grid, saying this is a fee because you're using the grid. Which is BS of course, since that was part of the deal for almost every solar panel owner from the very beginning.

Besides, I'm thinking : if you don't apply for a government grant, they have no way of knowing you have those panels. Which is the way I like it. smile I don't see them sending out public servants to go and check if your roof actually holds any PV panels or not.
