In Indiana, companies are allowed to make different arrangements, called “Excess Distributed Generation” policies. This still gives you credits for what you put into the grid for your neighbors , but they’re allowed to pay you little or nothing for the electricity depending on their policies. They’re also allowed to use disadvantageous “instantaneous netting” calculations instead of looking at energy put in and out over the course of the month.
