Not every power company allows this sadly and some just straight up charge static rates
Someone has to pay for infrastructure. The grid tie in idea is basically trying to use the grid as a battery for free. No big if a couple parasites try it, catastrophic if solar becomes popular in an area.
Many charge you just based on your profiled usage, not even your actual usage. This is one of the reasons for the move to smart meters.
Even that changes if you are dubbed a high user.
I know I'm dubbed a high user too which is really annoying since people are doing so much shit in their homes nowadays on my street.
No way to change that without basically cutting everything either.
