    I paid into one that was about $500 upfront, and then I’m locked into $0.13/kwh for the next 25 years for a portion of my bill. Still tied to the regular utility grid. But every setup is going to be a bit different.

      So for example, your first 500 kW hr are $0.13 each, then after that you pay market rates?

        Something like that, yes. Since solar makes more in the summer than the winter, the exact amount is laid out in a table for each month.
