Yeah we get nothing from any excess power generation that goes back into the grid. It used to be worth it years and years ago but they stopped because it was costing the energy generators too much.
I heard Mexico also allows returning the 100% extra energy you generated... I don't know why, but I feel it's just politics or greedy interests.
