I plan to look into it more once I get a home soon.
I do know that the Electric Company will buy your excess from you, I don't know how often they will pay you for it (Monthly, Quarterly, Bi-Annually or Annually), and of course they are going to charge a fee, it's the Rider Fee. Even if you switch to a different supplier, they still charge that rider fee to you. That's how they "get" their share. What I don't like it we pay for our energy twice.
Once through our Electric Bill, then again thru massive Subsidies with our tax payer dollars.
I think the rate they pay is maybe up to a surplus rate. I don't expect the electric companies to pay what they charge simply because they own the infrastructure that our homes are tied into. They take care of it all so there's no way I would even want them to pay what they charge.
But, I do expect it to be fair.
