If you hook up solar panels to your house, then you can get a pay check from PG&E right?

Question:

If you have surplus in power, you can sell it to PG&E rite? So the more solar panels u have.the more power u generate...and the more you can sell back rite?

Answer:
In theory, yes. If the batteries in the system you were charging were full, the excess electricity could be routed back onto the grid, reducing the amount of power you are billed for. But the initial cost of such a system would require it to be in use for 20 years to 'payback' the investment. You probably do not have a supplier agreement either, so you would not have a negotiated payback rate should you supply more power to the grid than you use in the month.
