The Congressional Research Service last year noted increasing interest among producers of distributed energy resources (DERs)—such as rooftop solar—to sell electricity to neighbors. Electricity generated from renewable resources such as solar and wind that customers cannot use can be diverted to the grid, but there are limits.
