Netting incentive from the link you shared:

"Power produced by your system, but not consumed within the month, is "netted" at the same rate you pay Eversource for electricity

Current incentive rate The netting incentive rate is the current retail rate + a quarterly Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) payment of $0.0318 per kWh. This rate is set by the state and remains the same for 20 years."

If I didn't explain it this way, then I apologize. I'm not special. My excess is credited at the same rate being offered, so kw sent= kw purchased. If I need more than I send them I have to buy at the current rate.

No. I signed up this year for installation next year. We are not banking monetary credits. It's kw hour even exchange. Any kw we need in excess of what we bank will be at Eversource current rates. We sized our system to accommodate heat pumps and 2 electric cars... that we don't have yet... because that is allowed. We used 14k kwh last year and we sized our system at 19k kw, so we don't anticipate any need to buy. Yes, this is a purchase. Leasing is a horrible idea.

Not true. Our contract with ConEd is Kw=Kw. We bank Kw credits with Eversource to use as needed. If we bank more than we use at the end of the year, then we will be paid a miniscule amount like $.04/kw.

For my new solar contract I will only use Eversource because anything I over produce goes to them, and they give me credit for an even exchange..kw=kw .. no rates apply. Until my panels go live, I'm with Constellation
