This is cool. I have an external plug in the back, so I could presumbly buy one and plug it on my patio and by magic I'll get paid for it or something?
If you have an old meter, possibly. If you have a newer one you'll get nothing, unless you tell your energy company who will buy the energy at ~50% the price they sell it to you for.

Cool. As a tenant I'll finally be able to take advantage of solar power without having to beg my landlord to have it fitted.

My meter is pretty old (not smart, no different pricing for different times, just some dials), so I might be in luck.

Not all old meters wind back, good luck brother
