Danielle Said:

Does the Electric company pay me for Solar energy?

We Answered:

YES.... however only a couple of states require the account balanced each month, most give you a rolling energy credit that's balanced at the end of each year. with solar cells alone I doubt you'll come close to break even let alone a credit and since they credit you at wholesale and charge you retail you need to be over by a lot.
I have a small solar thermal generation system using a Tesla turbine and a 30 kva generator as well as 3 VAWT (vertical axis wind turbines) each 2.5 kw and still have not received more than $100 monthly credit most of the time it's 10 bucks. at the end of the year I still don't get cash they issue me a stock option. Oh well more for retirement.
