Net metering allows a grid-connected solar system to export surplus electricity to the grid and receive credit for it, which is then adjusted against the electricity you consume from the grid.

A bidirectional meter installed by your local electricity distribution company records both the power you import and the power you export.

Net-metering policies, sanctioned capacity limits, and billing cycles vary by state and utility provider, so it's important to check the specific rules that apply to your connection.

Our team assists with the net-metering application as part of the installation process where this facility is available in your area.
