What Happens to Surplus Electricity If a Home Uses a Large

If a home uses a large supply of solar energy and produces more electricity than it consumes, the surplus electricity is typically sent back to the power grid, often through net

Grid energy storage

Any electrical power grid must match electricity production to consumption, both of which vary significantly over time. Energy derived from solar and wind sources varies with the weather on time scales ranging from less than a second to weeks or longer. Nuclear power is less flexible than fossil fuels, meaning it cannot easily match the variations in demand. Thus, low-carbon electricity without storage presents special challenges to electric utilities.
