Dunno. I'm on the grid. My PG&E bill is usually in the sub $10 range, though.
If the law allowed me to sell power to PG&E, I'd get a bigger array...

If the law allowed me to sell power to PG&E, I'd get a bigger array... I thought that federal law required all electric utilities to purchased it, but they get around it by requiring prohibitively costly interface devices.
There is a large "electric underground" that "sells" electricity back to the utilities on the sly. (They rig up their systems without the interface box, and allow their surplus to spin their meters backwards.) You should be able to find some info via google.

The law does allow you to sell your power to PG&E, as far as I know - friends of mine have a 3.2kW array and they have time-of-use and bidirectional metering. They get paid once a year for the juice they provide to their neighbors.
