What happens to the 'excess' energy that's produced, or it just doesn't get that far?

Sell it back to power company as credit. Basically it goes like this… In summer you should have good producing months, hopefully above what you consume. The excess goes to RI Energy and they credit you for it. Winter months you produce less and you probably end up using those credits. The hope is you at least end up with net no electric bill.

Now there are so many factors like your house location, tree cover, your personal consumption etc.
