Selling Power to the Grid

Basics

• This page goes over how one can sell (excess) power back to the Centralized Electric Grid
• Largely depends on the local legislation
• Also need a special meter in most cases
• Need to see SPECIFICALLY what hardware is needed
• Also need to see if there is a "cap" of maximum sellable amount of Kilowatt Hours
• Also can be done via power from a battery bank, or EV in Energy Storage as a Service systems
• Supposedly Florida USA has one of the best systems in the USA for this?

Florida Use Case Analysis

• A Clay Electric Page Titled: "Common questions about photovoltaic systems answered"
• A Clay Electric Page Titled: "Solar Power"
• The JEA Page on Distributed Generation (good pdf download for deep dive into info)
• A FLASEIA Page titled "CUSTOMER-OWNED RENEWABLE GENERATION (Net Metering)"
• Another Useful PDF
• A Petition on This (need to READ it, seems at surface level to be the electric companies not being fair on this?
