Having to pay for giving solar energy back (reddthat.com)

it's weird, but legal for some reason. Giving back energy to the grid can cost money. Shy of just stacking a bunch of batteries, what could I do with the spare summer sunlight?

My sister overcools her house so she doesn't have to run the AC at night (but she lives somewhere hot enough for that to matter - I can just open windows most nights).

I charge my electric car on it (which I guess is stacking a bunch of batteries). I'll also cook during that time to use the energy on that.

Those are great, I will be overcooling! And I wanted to get an electric car already, I didn't even think of that
