In California, they have messed with the cost structure enough that solar without storage is usually not worth doing beyond your peak usage, because your excess power production won't net you nearly as much as you pay to buy that power back later in the afternoon.
And it's gotten worse; I recently got notified by my local power company that they're 'restructuring' their charges; under the new system, the charge for your connection to the grid and the 'generation charge', both fixed fees, will now be assessed separately, so that you're paying both of those charges each month even if you're continuously selling power back to them from overproduction, where previously your overproduction could apply against those costs.
