This is an enormous subsidy to residential PV. Electricity wholesalers would love to be able to sell it to the grid at retail prices, like you are. Instead, they sell it for something like a quarter of retail price. This huge subsidy is only sustainable for so long as the PV penetration is low in residential market.
