Lastly, any unused solar flows back into the grid, bringing more clean energy to our electricity system, benefiting you, your neighbors and the community! How homes are compensated for their excess solarĮlectricity generated from rooftop solar first serves your home’s onsite electricity demand. This also ensures that when the sun isn’t shining, you can get power from your utility. Logistically, connecting your rooftop solar to the power lines already feeding your home is the most straight-forward way to power your home with rooftop solar. Most rooftop solar projects are connected to the larger electricity grid.
