I’d have to double check the exact amount but here in Ontario, the power you sell back at something like 90 cents Kwh … very inflated to encourage more people to generate their own power and sell it back to the “system” - in my opinion it’s driven the price of purchasing/consuming power artificially high as well … real problem here….
