Ive been debating a solar array on my lawn to power and heat my pool in the summer. Interested to see if this rumor is true

Yes. This is called net metering. During the day when you are at work and the AC is not on, your meter will turn backwards as power flows to the grid (the array produces more power than you consume). At night your meter will begin to roll forward again as you consume power from the grid.
