Yes, in many places if you install solar panels on your home you can sell any excess electricity that you don't use back to the power company (if you are still hooked up to the electricity grid). This often done by people who supplement their electricity needs with solar panels. During the day, they make more electricity than they need, and they sell it back to the power company. At night, when their solar panels are not supplying any energy, they used power from the power company. This solves the problem of having to store the electricity yourself (since every night the sun goes down!). If you do want to sell energy back to the power company you need to install a "net meter" if your power company offers one. It's the net meter that is able to spin backwards to track how much energy is pumped back into the grid.

Why can't a big power company make and sell enough solar power for everyone?
It would be far to expensive to do so.
Why can the solar power not work at night?
Solar means sun. Of course the sun is not out at night. Some solar power systems store the power generated , but in most home power systems you are still with an electric power company and sell your extra power to the company to bring down your bill. So, power storage is not needed at night.
Will solar power work in the future?
Those who are predicting our future tell us that some of our electricity will come from solar. Much of this will be supplied by small, independent, home based producers who tie into the grid and sell it to their power company. The technology is here today and smart people are installing it to lock down future increases in power costs.
How is solar power used?
You can use solar and wind power to dry your clothes. Save energy by not using a dryer. You can put solar panels on your roof, attached to an inverter, and gather electricity and perhaps sell it back to the main grid. You can certainly use it to lower your energy use, and have cheaper power bills (after you have paid for the initial installation).
Why should you solar power your home?
The simplest answer is that while many different products claim to be "renewable energy", home solar truly is. Solar hot water or solar PV electricity generation. In other words, solar needs absolutely no external power from traditional sources of energy - oil, gas, or coal - to work. At the point when you have saved enough on your electric bill to pay for the installation, you will be truly banking the money you don't spend on electricity. Also, should you be able to produce more energy than you actually need, you may actually be able to sell it back to the power company!
What is the best website that offers plug in solar panels at a cheap price?
Websites that offer and sell plug in solar panels at a cheap affordable price include Plug in Solar Panels, Solar Shop and The Solar Electricity Company. They offer DIY kits that you can assemble yourself.
What are the benefits of residential wind generators?
One of the benefits to using a residential wind generator is lower electricity costs. Wind Generators also are environmentally friendly. If there should ever be a power outage, you would not be affected. You can generate power and then use a smaller amount of electricity provided by the power company. If you generate more electricity than you use, you can sell the excess to the power company.
Name A company thet sells materials needed to build your own solar panel?
A company that will sell you solar panel cells and other materials need to build your very own solar panel is EverBright Solar. (this is only one company that sells solar panel material, there may be many more)
Can solar energy be turned into electricity?
yes solar energy can be turned or converted to electricity by grid connectivity. where in you can produce energy and also can sell like how it happens in most places in Europe and in the US.
