Does your electric company really allow you to save up energy credits for use later?

I just installed my panels in July, but all I get is credit for that day. If I export more than I import, I pay nothing, more or less, but I get no credits for later use.

So far almost every day since then I have had a surplus. I still owe the power company about $30 a month for connection fees, though.

Am I getting screwed? This is the most complicated (and expensive!) time I have ever had getting electricity. I've been all over the country, but this power grid is the least reliable and most expensive.
