I don't see variable rates on my bill, except for usage over certain....levels.

That being said, connecting to the grid is a terrific idea. Here in California, the power company is REQUIRED to buy your power....at the expense of simply offsetting your bill. No way to actually MAKE money, but you theoretically can have NO bill.
For the Solar crowd, if you size it right, you can put a big dent in you AC bill and in the winter, perhaps go positive.
Payback? That's another story.

But for Pete's sake, get a real electrician to do the work and look into a whole-house surge arrestor......especially if you live in a lightning prone area. Like I don't.
Too much is never enough
