What is Net Metering and How Does It Work?

What is Net Metering and How Does It Work?
Net metering is a billing system that allows homeowners and businesses with solar panels to send excess electricity back to the grid in exchange for credits on their electricity bill. This means if your solar panels generate more power than you use, the extra energy is fed into the utility grid, and you receive compensation for it.

How Net Metering Works
Generate Electricity – Your solar panels produce electricity during the day.
Use What You Need – Your home consumes the required energy.
Send Excess to the Grid – Any unused electricity is sent to the power grid.
Earn Credits – Your electricity meter runs backward, reducing your bill.
Draw from the Grid When Needed – At night or on cloudy days, you use power from the grid, but the credits offset your costs.
Benefits of Net Metering
✅ Lower Electricity Bills – Save money by reducing your energy costs.
✅ Eco-Friendly – Helps reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
✅ Efficient Use of Solar Power – No wasted energy, as excess power is stored in the grid.
✅ Long-Term Savings – Makes investing in solar panels more cost-effective.
