Which one is net metering?
- All your generated electricity goes to the grid at 1.6 cents per kw-h and you buy it back at 12 cents per kw-h
- You use the grid as a big battery, pump in your excess kw-h and they keep track. You take them back out at night and when you exceed the 'battery' value you pay the difference

I know one is a lot easier to justify the investment!
