My monthly usage cost (excluding all the other charges) is under $30. Unless you go off grid, you will still pay those other fees. I'm not sure what you could recoup in selling back to the grid, but it would have to be a lot for this to make any sense right now. Now, once all the carbon taxes hit their peak in a few years it could be a different story. But by then panels will be a lot cheaper, so waiting it out seams the best plan.
