yes, to sell back power to the utility. Therefore if the grid is turned off, you would just produce the electricity you need to run your own home (equivalent to using a power generator). Once your home is hooked up to the grid and has the special electric meter, you can sell all your excess power back to the grid. The utility pays the customer based on power metered back to the grid during peak/non peak periods. The rate is lower than when the customer buys from the grid. The utility needs to build a smart grid system so they can distribute power from any/all decentralized source(s) to any part of the grid (most urban areas have under ground wires) as well as manage their Power Transmission lines.
