How Your Power Gets to the Grid

Sun hits the solar panels on your south-facing roof generating Direct Current (DC) electricity that flows to your inverter, which converts it to Alternating Current (AC) electricity for export through an export meter to the electrical grid. You receive 80.2 cents for every kwh you produce, and you buy electricity from the grid through your import meter for use in your home at the going electricity rate. The Our Power Wiki provides further more detailed information.

And you'll have a choice of cool online meters to show you all the money you are saving!
