We have solar panels with a net-metering + time of use plan. The way our utility works is that they charge a flat fee per *net* kWh (this makes sense) and then give a per kWh credit for super off peak (fee+credit=cheaper) and an extra charge per each peak kWh.

Interestingly, these past few bills we've received a super off peak credit for more kWh than we've actually used from the grid. I guess their systems aren't intelligent enough to care for that. So we are, in a very small way, (so far max $3/month) profiting off of this.

Example: At the end of the month the power they sent me, minus the power I sent them is 200 kWh. But my super off peak usage is 400 kWh. I get to pocket the super off peak credit for all 400, even though I only netted 200. Now, if only I could game the system like a tech/finance bro...

Last month we pushed a lot more power to the grid than we pulled. The utility gave us a measly two pennies per kWh we donated to them. The bill was something like $10 after various fees and credits.

Despite solar estimates suggesting May and June are roughly equal on generation we're pretty far in the hole given a ton of cloudy days. Interestingly about the amount we donated to them on steep discount last month. Hrumph!

Australia:

But it was rooftop PV that had the biggest impact, reaching a new Q1 high of 4,090 MW this quarter, and increasing its share to 15.8 per cent of total supply and remaining the single largest renewable contributor. AEMO notes that it is suppressing coal and gas generation during the day
