What is Net Metering?

Net metering allows you to sell excess power produced by your solar system back to the utility company at retail prices. Solar Energy Systems will recommend the optimal utility rate plan for you based on your electrical production and consumption patterns.

Net metering is a special metering and billing agreement between you as the solar system owner and the utility company that allows you to buy and sell energy in the form of electric credits.

When your solar system generates more power than what your home or business can immediately use, your excess power flows back to the utility grid and your meter literally spins backward! When you use more power than is being produced, the meter runs forward as normal.

Net metering customers are charged only for the “net” power that they use over a designated time period. Most utility companies will credit you for the power you generate for up to a year, but unfortunately, they will not send you a check for the net excess electricity production.
