Utility companies want to pay you to generate power for the electrical grid

I'm not sure what is happening in other states. However, unless you put in your solar a few years ago here in California you no longer get full price for your solar electricity you sell back. We for example, only get 10 cents on the dollar now when we turned on our solar during the last few years. So, if you put solar in read the fine print. However, most of the time our meter is going backwards so we aren't paying anything most of the time anyway. So, your bill (whether they pay you for electricity or not is going down by about 85% in Santa Barbara at least where there is a lot of sun. There needs to be enough sun during the year to make putting solar into your home or business worthwhile otherwise it isn't worth the investment long term.

Some states offer homeowners the option of generating their own power and sending what they don’t use back to the grid.
