NET METERING
What is Net Metering?
Net Metering uses the best of both worlds. You will still be
hooked up to your regular utility company, but will have solar
power to offset your consumption and will be doing your part to
cut our Nation’s dependency on foreign oil. If you produce
enough power you can actually sell power back to the Power
Company. |
|
How it can work for you:
- You set up your own renewable energy source (solar or wind).
- You use this source of energy in conjunction with energy from your
utility company.
- If you choose-- you can charge up batteries and/or hook up a
generator for backup power during outages.
- On the days that you use less energy than you produce your meter
will literally spin BACKWARDS!
- Your system is now working FOR you REDUCING you power bill!
- The power company keeps track of this difference and they deduct it
from your bill. Net-metering is a seamless process.

This home has a 1 kw net-metering system without batteries
and a 3kw inverter, so there is room to expand the system. |
