With a grid tied system, what happens if I am producing more electricity than I am using?
With a grid tied power system any energy produced that you don't use is sold to BC Hydro through an agreement know as the Net Metering. BC Hydro will credit you for electricity that you provide to their system and if you have a large system or use very little energy you could be net zero. Net zero means over the course of the year you produce all of the energy you need.
