What's your electric provider's base service charge, and when does their net metering roll-over kWh system "reset" each year?

Sorry not to answer sooner...that's exactly the information I'm working with now. I'll post it as soon as I find out.
Also, I'm learning about energy credits and the $$ paid by my state (PA).
I also called a local company about a quote for my house. I was fully honest and told them that I'm serious, but I'm a DIY'r and would like to do the installation myself....I approached them on the level of being a consultant and I would pay them for their work. They were interested and are sending me a quote. They have equipment to measure exposure levels to tell me "exactly" what kind of return I can expect.
I'm not real concerned about the ROI on this. That may sound odd. I mean the money is in the bank earning next to nothing and I really should be doing something with it.
I will post back. This is going to be fun.
Thanks for taking the time to answer!
