so awesome, we're trying to get some solar panel action happening at our place soon too!
Yeah, I don't know the details, but I think that all the meters run 2-ways, so basically, if you're making juice, it runs backwards and they pay you!
It's even easier to get solar panels to heat your hot water. We're checking that out.
PS. I just saw a bus that runs on solar power a couple weeks ago.
