Abstract
Many current electricity rate structures for residential consumers do not provide proper incentives for consumer solar production. They also unfairly burden traditional consumers in favor of solar producing consumers ("prosumers"), by charging the bulk of utility internal operating costs to the rate-paying consumers. We propose a modified rate structure that first, more fairly divides the overhead cost among all customers, and second, provides proper incentives allowing the utility to control and to promote grid friendly solar producers that maximally benefit the entire customer base, which we call "positive prosumers." We also propose a mechanism that induces near truthful reporting of gross demand by prosumers, which is a needed input for our new rate structure.
