THe answer is no. If it goes back into the grid, then you just gave them free power. I checked on this stuff back in the summer. They are supposed to be making changes very soon, but as far as I know it hasn't ahppened yet.

How much do they weigh and what is the expected lifespan of the panels?

The Sharp 170's on my building weight 37.485 lbs each. They tell me it's the same as if you added an extra layer of shingles. The town did want the truss specs before they would issue a permit. They are warrented for performance for 25 years. I am told the lifespan is at least 30 years. At 10 years I might need a inverter change. Doug

You answered my next question too. Thanks.

BTW you now have enough carbon credits to run your boat WOT all the time.
