I've been talking to some other folks about it; the few I've found
who've considered selling their excess to the power companies said that
it's a real pain in the butt. I've talked to folks who have solar water
heaters and who run a part of their household on solar but haven't found
anyone yet who actually *does* sell excess power to either Duke or CP&L.
And here we have "solar guerrillas." Interesting.
