Generally, the law mentioned earlier, is relative to something known as ‘net-metering’. The fact that you produce during the day, allows you to consume during the night. This is the ‘net’ in ‘net-metering’. If I recollect correctly, the ‘net-metering’ period is one month. If the net between consumed and produced is zero… then you don’t have a bill (other than misc connect charges/fees etc).

Our neighbors are billed annually for the net electrical.
During the summer they produce more than they use. During the winter they use more than they produce. (We’re semi-coastal and 1960’s construction – so only one house in our ‘hood has AC).
