When you have asolar PV systemyou generate electricity for use in your home. However, at certain times you may generate more electricity than your household needs - what do you do with the excess?
You sell it back to the energy companies. Instead of power flowing into your home through the grid, power flows out of your home through the grid. Instead of being charged for energy you consume, you are paid for energy you contribute.
