Net Metering: Sell Excess Power to the Grid
Net metering is a government-approved system that allows homeowners with solar panels for home to export excess electricity to the grid and earn credits on their electricity bills. When your residential solar system generates more power than you use, the extra electricity is sent to the grid, helping you maximize savings and make the most of your solar electricity for home.
Benefits of Net Metering
- Sell excess power at retail tariff rates
- Credits roll over monthly (annual settlement)
- Bidirectional meter tracks import/export
- Reduces electricity bills to near zero
- No battery storage needed
