Net Metering: Description
Net metering is a billing mechanism that allows solar system owners to sell excess electricity generated by their solar panels back to the grid, earning credits that offset their future electricity bills. It promotes renewable energy adoption and maximizes solar investment returns.
How Net Metering Works:
-
Solar Power Generation – Your system produces electricity during the day.
-
Self-Consumption – Power your home first; excess energy goes to the grid.
-
Energy Credits – The utility company tracks surplus power and deducts it from your bill.
-
Night/Cloudy Days – Draw power from the grid, using your earned credits.
Key Benefits:
Reduces or eliminates electricity bills
No battery needed (grid acts as “virtual storage”)
Environmentally friendly – Supports clean energy
Increases ROI on solar systems
Ideal For:
-
Grid-tied solar systems
-
Homes & businesses with high daytime energy production
-
Regions with net metering policies
