The meter fee is $11/mo; the price of being physically connected to the grid and maintaining an account with the utility.

Modern meters won't run backwards unless they are programmed to do so. The old physical meters often could be run backwards without the utility finding out, so long as you showed some net consumption every month.
My meter was replaced with the exact same model, but apparently it was programmed to "net meter" rather than run in only one direction.
