I agree with all but the first point, that is entirely going to depend on your utility. My net meter plan happens to be 1:1 and it’s great because they also have peak/offpeak rates. I generally produce solar during the peak rates and consume most of my energy off peak by changing my habits a bit. My utility’s clean energy goals are counting on about 30% rooftop solar adoption by 2035 and they’re scaling up their storage to account for the growth so it doesn’t look like they’re going to push against it.
You could always just stash some electrons in a battery just for peak usage, when your solar panels aren’t online or aren’t able to contribute to 100% of your energy needs. A lot of these systems have a lot of options for when and where the energy goes.
