NET METERING

Net metering is a billing arrangement that allows utility companies to credit customers for the excess electricity they generate from renewable sources like solar panels. This system tracks the electricity consumed from the grid and the surplus produced, enabling homeowners to earn credits on their electricity bills, making renewable energy systems more economically viable and accessible. Learn more about net metering policies in your state on the DSIRE website.
