Which utility company is that? I was unaware that any were actually paying money out to customers.
.
I have Xcel energy, and they pay me. They have two programs - one where I get a credit for surplus created, and one where they send me a check.
I pay in a little in the winter, and they pay me in the spring, fall and summer. I won't get rich off of it, but the array will pay for itself long before it fails. Or would, if it wasn't paying for all that delicious beer. Plus, we save money on the shading the array provides to the roof - less heat to pump out of the house.
I would arguably be better off getting the credit - they pay more per KWh for that, but although the credits never expire, I can never transfer them, and I lose them if I ever move. Better to get the cash, in my opinion.
