My brother told me his solar panels produce enough energy that his meter spins backwards and he puts power into the grid - he should be compensated for this, IMO.
He also tells me his solar panels allow him to run his a/c 24/7 off of the panels (he has the part battery too).
With the constant heat we get where I am, I like that feature best - my power bill goes WAY up during the hot summer months when I have to run my a/c 24/7, often all the way into November.
I don’t put power onto the grid. My state doesn’t do net metering. Basically, if I were to put power onto the grid I’d automatically be signed up onto their solar buyback program, which would require me to pay a large monthly fee just for them to buy power from me for a tiny rate. No thanks. Thus I set my inverter to never put power onto the grid even the 3.3 hours I average per day in which my solar batteries are fully charged and I have extra power looking for somewhere useful to go.
Any idea what that set up cost him?
