Not sure where to post this question.
But seems like there are some very in depth discussions in these parts!
My question:
When a residential PV system is generating more power than the local load (the load at the house); does the excess power acutally go onto the grid?
This assumes there is a "net metering" device in place. Here is NJ a net metering device is what one needs to get credit for any excess power that the PV system generates.
I do not understand how the current source at the house and the current source at the utility pole (the transformer) can add.
Thank you.
