If I'm generating 20% more solar energy than I need and resell the excess it to the grid, am I operating at 120% renewable energy?

What about the consumers of my excess energy? Are they operating at 20% renewable and 80% fossil?

If my 20% in excess is counted towards my total renewable energy consumption, and other consumers also claim that 20% towards their renewable consumption, then we're just double counting. No?
