"...the excess power you generate can be put back out on the grid and you will get paid for it by the power company."



Who is your electricity supplier? SECO currently doesn't buy back power. However, things change - and since Florida is pro-renewables they could mandate it.

A simple solar water heater on the roof is relatively cheap - saves you electricity year-round and you'd still have hot water in a power outage.
