Some areas in CA you get no credit for putting extra into the grid.

Alot just disconnect the meter and say screw em.

you'll need a back up like batteries or a generator if you do that..over here the meter runs backwards..so you only get to trade for kilowatts

There is new technology coming out soon . Paint on solar panels . The price looks real good too. If you have a metal roof you just paint on the panels and free electric. I am going to do some on my new building I am erecting. 24X36.

I want my home to be completely solar powered (with a generator back up) by the end of 2011.

I'm doing it all myself-and I'm very "new" at it-and so I'm starting small (freezer, water heater panels at the moment), and will keep adding (and learning) until I can completely disconnect the City power (that will be a HAPPY day)...Now if I just had a well on the property...
