(Electrical) Independence Day

Yesterday,  I noticed our electrical meter had zeroed out.  Here's a picture of the reading this morning (after some night-time usage of electricity):

Only 3 KWhrs used in three years!
So, in the three years since we had our solar panels installed, we have been a net-zero electric household!  (In July 2016 a new meter (reading zero) was installed that counts down anytime we send electrical power back into the grid).

(When it goes below zero, it doesn't read negative like it should, instead it rolls over and counts down from 99999 which kind of freaked me out the first time because I was worried the electric company was going to charge us for a MASSIVE use of electricity that month (turns out they just give us a credit on their bill)).
