Hi Phil,
Distribution charges are an issue where I live too. My "service" fee last month was $22. The power I actually was bill for was about $7. Then there was a city surcharge of $2, carbon tax of $0.10 and Federal sales tax of 5% on the whole bill.

Phil,
$2 x 200 X 120 = $48,000
However it is unlikely that you need 24,000 watts of power. It may be that 1/3 to 1/6 would be enough for an adequate grid tied system.
Don, for a grid tied system the trouble is ... all solar panels do is feed power back into the power company's system so that the power portion of solar panel owners' bills is reduced.
My power bills are now dominated by distribution system charges, which solar panels do not, and would not, help. Of course that is probably a California issue and not the situation in many other places.
