re: The E is generated right where it will be used, but if it isn't needed, it goes into the grid. I've been looking into doing this (would have to get rid of my solar pool heating panels). There is a law in Florida (and a lot of other states) that if you are feeding back into the grid they have to pay you for that electricity. One thing that sucks, they charge you retail for the electricity you use, but only pay you at their "cost of goods" for the electricity you "sell them". If they paid you retail then the economics would make a lot better sense.
