SECO handles solar energy by installing 2 meters, one for solar power produced and one for power consumed. The power produced is credited at the cost of wholesale power, about 70 percent of the regular rate, and power consumed is charged at 100 percent. This may make it advantageous to use a battery backup so that all solar power is used to power the house. Also, my ASI homeowners insurance does not cover hurricane damage to solar panels and if I obtain a new policy I lose my sinkhole coverage.
