Can I sell power back to the utility grid?
Yes, with the correct inverter you can safely sell power back to the
utility grid. The real question is can I sell power back to the utility
company. Most states have net metering bills that basically say the utility
company will have to buy the power back from you at the same rate you
buy power from them. The states that dont have net metering bills
typically only pay the wholesale cost of the power about 1-3 cents.
Until uniform codes have been adopted by all utilities it is best that
you first check with your utility. Each utility has different interconnection
standards that have to be meet before they will allow you to sell power
back to the utility grid. The unfortunate thing about these different
interconnection requirements is that modern inverters have all of the
safety equipment built into them as standard components. So some of the
equipment a utility company may ask you to add is already inside the inverter.
