From what I understand about the meter thing is that, if your producing more power than your using, the meter runs backwards for that time period. If by the end of the month you are still in the "Negative" ie sold power back, they send you a check for the value of that power at the rate you are a subsciber at. The question comes to my mind, how do you know they are being square with you and I guess you would have to read the meter at the same time they do. There are people/houses that are total power sellers. That would be a nice thing.
