By LAW, 46 states in the USA require utilities to pay you for excess production. This is also the rule in Europe .But, if you are in a state like Texas, many find it more PROFITABLE to just wire in the turbine "behind the meter" and then you run your meter backward, and operate on a "credit". In this way you save electric bills at retail RATES. You need to talk to your political representatives and see that they represent your interests. But in truth, we recommend that you buy the turbine that is appropriate to produce the power you need for your building or facility, and don't worry about selling power back, if you are buying an individual turbine.

If you want to invest $15,000,000 or more, then setting up a wind farm and selling power into the grid can make you good PROFIT. But, an individual user is advised to be just that, an individual user. Let the turbine pay or reduce your electric bill, add solar water heating to further reduce your electric bill. We doubt that you want to go through the paperwork and regulations to sell power back, if you are just buying power for your home or business. Some power companies require that you sign an agreement just to have a wind turbine on your PROPERTY that is connected to the grid. Be sure and contact them and fill out their form.
