But the future might not be quite that simple. In that process you are using the utility as a battery to store your energy when you send power back through the grid. There are already proposals with some state's public utility commission to charge for that service, and it probably makes sense as there is a cost to the utility for the wires and hardware even if your bill nets zero. I am also in the industry and I am sure that will be happening in the coming years making the payback a bit tougher. Some will put their own battery systems in place and that will have a cost associated with it as well.
