Here in BC Canada we don't get paid anything for feed-in, but we do get credit on our bill - so 1 kWh in during the day means I can use 1kWh at night without paying anything. We have 6.8kW on the roof, and it looks like over 12 months it will cover our needs.

It means I'll never have a bill, and if I get too much credit (negative bill), I'll just get a used electric car. I'm not unhappy with that situation.

It’s not entirely different here, the feed-in is applied as a credit to your account. I suppose they’d have to pay out if pushed, I’m yet to know anyone who has received actual money though. I guess I’m about to find out, if my retailer ever fixes the issue with their billing system that’s preventing any of my solar data showing correctly / at all.
