Quite the system! Maybe we should all have one in our back yard. Actually, looknig at some of those Ontario power bills maybe a few houses near each other should get together and buy them. Send a big FU to the government and probably be cheaper.
That's called net metering. Enmax controls it (or your electricity provider). You can't just self generate and throw back on the grid what you don't use.

Well, you CAN.....but only if you use Enmax's overpriced equipment, at Enmax's rates for the power you generate.
