Hawaii has a net metering law that allows you to produce excess power during the day and export the excess power to the grid allowing you to withdraw the same amount of power at night. You are then credited at the retail rate for power exported to the grid. This allows the grid to function as your power storage for the extra electricity you produce each day. The meter actually spins backward when exporting power and then forward again when you withdraw it from the grid. |
