  • It does go backwards! I have 24 panels, generating about 1.6 kWh at peak power.

  • I live in FL, have a 4,000 sq/ft house. Virtually my entire roof is covered with solar panels. On average, I am paid about $2,300/mo by Progress Energy Florida. Less in the summer and more in the winter as the demand varies.

  • I see now, i must have had one two many that night :)

  • If you look at the video.. the 'disc' is moving backwards...

  • 1 rev. in about 8 seconds, C = 375 rev / kWh gives a load back to the grid of about 833 Watts. With whatever the house load was at the time of this video , there was power going back into the grid.

  • This setup has cost me about 10k euro's, all included. The Dutch government payed an additional 5k investment subsidy.

  • How much does a setup like yours cost? Is it one of the bigger setups, or limit to the amount of panels i need? I'm seriously thinking about investing here..

  • What was turned on inside the house while it was on? Also how many panels are you running. If you had enough it should have gone backwards, depending on what you have turned on. Oh, and do you have any energy star appliances?
