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?

            Run a small mill for grains or herbs
Pump water to irrigate plants
Aerate a pond
Community device charging station
Organize with fellow citizens to change that

I like the ideas! I might look back here when I buy a house with a bigger yard!
