The girl who is in charge of payroll in my office does this.

She bought a program from a company that specializes in this. They placed a bunch of solar panels on her roof, and on sunny days, her electrical meter actually runs backwards. Southern California Edison credits her for the power she generates.

On cloudy days, her meter runs the normal way.

She's had this set-up for over a year, and it appears to be working for her.

I know the initial start-up cost wasn't cheap, but eventually, there is a payback.
