I’m curious as to what people are doing with their spare solar power.

I’m in the US and on NEM2. I already have batteries and discharge them when the rates are favorable.

But I still have a lot of leftover juice. My partner recently bought an EV but doesn’t drive much.

I set up a home lab and even bought a small bitcoin miner that turns on when electricity rates are favorable.

I'm interested in doing this. So when you wire it up, do they just know you're giving it back to the grid (selling it) or do you need to contact them and tell them?

You must contact them else they will disconnect you pronto.

Not sure, I had an electrician do all of that 😁 not much room for mistakes there 😅 I did have to inform my power company, and switch to a supplier that would buy power.
