Beats the hell out of me, but I assume it goes to my neighbors. In all I have a hundred dollar power bill, so I use mo than I give,but those moments when the meter stops or spins backwards are lovely.
Plan B if I couldnt bank power in the grid I would use a charge controller in the mix with some batteries so I can store power and use the surplus for the grid tie inverters during the day.THen at night use the batteries charge for the grid tie inverters.

You can't really expect a company to invest in infrastructure that makes it easier to lose customers or turns them into a customer, with a peaky supply. A government entity on the other hand...
