ZONE 445-BETA—Resident homeowner Marcus Chen-7834 received an automated termination notice from SolarCorp Premium this week after his rooftop panels reportedly absorbed 127% more sunlight than permitted under his Basic Solar Plan, forcing him to return to candlelight and hoping for cloudy days. The 34-year-old warehouse coordinator had unknowingly violated his subscription agreement by allowing direct sunlight to hit his panels for more than the allotted 4.3 hours per day, triggering what company representatives described as “solar overuse penalties.” Chen-7834’s monthly statement showed additional charges for “premium photon processing,” “unauthorized UV absorption,” and a mysterious 847-credit fee for “regulatory solar compliance assessment fee.”
SolarCorp customer service representative Janet Walsh-9471 explained that Chen-7834’s violation occurred during an unusually sunny Tuesday when he failed to deploy the mandatory solar shades during peak sunlight hours. “Our Basic Plan clearly states that customers are limited to 2,847 lumens per month,” Walsh-9471 noted, reading from a 47-page terms of service document that changes weekly.
