I read in a magazine that you can use your solar energy when it is available, but during night and other times, power is supplied by the power company. On sunny days with excess power, you can even sell some to the company.
This required costly transformers and a bunch of weird and expensive objects added to the house. Obviously, I don't recall it all, but I thought it was a good concept in this transition age.
