Our house's electric meter has been swapped with a new one so we can export our rooftop solar back to the grid, and that was the last step I was waiting on. Switches flipped on, rooftop solar is now fully online, I am a very happy camper.

In our prior house we leased panels, which was okay until it wasn't. In this new house, we bought our own outright. Having any panels was better than none, but having your own is better than leased.

For MA-locals, our installer was New England Clean Energy and I highly recommend them.

@varmazis
Do you also have battery backup as part of the system so you export to the grid after your batteries are topped off?

@corvus not yet - between buying the new house, adding panels & replacing the old HVAC with new heat pumps we are brooooke at the moment. Hoping in the next few years to add those on, but I don't know what battery system we'd use

@varmazis I bet!! That's a life goal for me. I've helped install systems but as a renter I only have a little camping panel that charges two cellphones in the summer. One day!!
