Wrong way. The house has pulled an extra 4MWh from the grid during the winter months (and pushes more than that back during the rest of the year). I'm past net zero on an annual basis, but that doesn't mean that even a large array is able to cover my energy needs in the winter few months.

I'm grandfathered into an arrangement where I pay my $5/mo and get unlimited net metering, but it's not remotely reasonable to pretend that I'm not heavily using the grid overnight, in the winter, etc.
