What is Net Metering?

Net metering is a billing system that allows consumers who generate their own electricity—typically through solar panels—to send excess energy back to the power grid. In return, they receive credits that reduce their monthly electricity bill. It’s a simple yet powerful way to make renewable energy more practical and affordable for everyday users.

Imagine you have solar panels on your roof. During sunny days, your system may produce more electricity than your home needs. Instead of letting that extra power go to waste, it gets sent to the local power grid. Later, when your panels aren't producing (like at night), you can draw electricity from the grid using the credits you earned. This give-and-take system is not only eco-friendly but also reduces your energy expenses over time.

Net metering has played a major role in encouraging clean energy adoption. It empowers people to take control of their energy use while supporting a greener future for everyone.
