^ In Germany for each watt you put in the national grid you earn a little money, it may only be like 1c. But it is still a good idea. It's prompted a lot of people to mount windmills and solar panels around their house.

 

I think the law in the US is they electric company has to buy electricity from you at the rate they sell it to you. I know of no one who generates more electricity then they use however, so in the end it's just to offset the bill. Almost no one gets paid.
