We use about 8 to 9 MWh of power a year; family of 4 with 2 full time work at home folks. So yes, we do have an overage. Our utility company buys that electricity back from us.

How much wattage can they produce? Are they 200watt panels? How many meters^2 do they take up? We’re completely off-grid with 12 x 200 watt panels. I’m not sure what we’d do with 41.

In the event of a grid outage, our panels shut down so we don’t fry the utility workers.
