My solar panels report the amount of electricity generated so I get my SREC credits. These are direct payments for generating clean energy. What frustrated me was that the company used a meter that reported over 3G, and then wanted me to pay $500 to upgrade my meter even though it was under warranty. They eventually found an ethernet port in my current meter, but they still charged me to run the cable. Fortunately, they got the cost low enough that it wasn't worth arguing.
