    Except the grid can’t store energy like that - if you generate twice the energy you consume, then someone else uses that energy and the base load generators slow down ever so slightly to accommodate. When it’s dark and you need that energy back, something else has to generate the power for you.

    Net metering is a book keeping device, not actually how power generation works.
