Greetings,
I'm seeing programs that allow solar, wind and other types of power generation to be connected to your house (or business) and you are still connected to your grid. The power company meters both - what they provide to you and what your private generation provides.
Your power company gives you a credit (or cash) for the difference.
Technically - is there a problem or danger in having both connected (I know the power company would have it wired correctly I just don't see how yet)?
Would or could the two sources "fight each other" or back-feed or something?
The only wiring diagram I've seen so far is both sources end up at your breaker box.
What if you are able to generate enough power on your own to meet your needs (or more than enough) - what keeps the power company's power happy and out of your house?
Thanks
