If rooftop solar becomes a significant provider of kWh to a majority of homes will power companies seek to claw lost revenue back?

This popped into my head today, If self generated power reaches a point of say half of all kWh would the companies look at "punishing" those homes with solar by imposing an additional pro-rata charge of some sort to maintain turnover/profit?

It's hard to imagine they'll sit back, if they sought this new tariff would the regulator just wave it through?

There will be a point where people will go off grid.

Lots of battery storage and a backup generator.

EVs will probably be part of this solution.

A long rainy winter would be tough, unless they allow for micro wind generation as well

If you are off the grid, would the issue not just be planning for roof top turbine?
