What is Net Metering?
Net Metering is an innovative billing policy that allows solar power system owners to send excess electricity generated by their solar panels back to the local electricity grid. In return, they receive credits on their electricity bill, effectively reducing or even eliminating their monthly charges.
In simple terms:
When your rooftop solar system generates more electricity than you use, the extra units are exported to the grid, and your electricity provider reduces your bill accordingly.
How Does Net Metering Work?

- Solar Power Generation
Your solar system generates electricity during the day using sunlight.
- Real-Time Consumption
This electricity powers your home or business appliances.
- Export to Grid
If you produce more than you consume, the extra electricity is exported to the local grid.
- Import When Needed
At night or during cloudy weather, when solar isn't generating enough, you can draw electricity back from the grid.
- Monthly Bill Adjustment
Your energy provider uses a bi-directional meter (also known as a net meter) to meticulously track both the electricity you import from the grid and the electricity you export to it.
- Your Electricity Bill = Units Imported – Units Exported
- This means if your exports exceed your imports, your bill could be zero, or you might even accumulate credits for future use.
Key Benefits of Net Metering
1. Lower Electricity Bills
- Drastically reduce monthly power bills
- In some cases, pay nothing at all

4. Energy Independence
- You rely less on the grid, and have control over your electricity
5. Eco-Friendly Impact
- Exporting clean energy reduces the carbon footprint of your entire neighborhood
