Under New York State's net metering rules residential solar panel owners get 1:1 retail credit for excess power put back onto the grid. The only way I could see a seller coming out ahead by selling to a neighbor vs selling to con-ed would be if the neighbor is willing to pay above retail. And even in that case NYS has solar power collectives and private third party energy producers selling solar power through the grid.
