In the past, residential solar systems only
generated power for that particular home during
daylight hours. These types of systems required
the installation of battery cells in the home to
store power and provide electricity in the
evening hours.

However, as solar technology has drastically
improved, the newest and growing type of solar
system uses net metering.

What Is Net Metering? Net metering allows
residential homes with solar systems to not only
generate electricity to power their own homes,

but also share any excess power they create by
feeding it into their energy providers
electrical grids. For instance, most people work
during the day,

so their electric use is significantly less than
it is during the evening hours. All of this
excess electricity created during the day is
shared with other people connected to the same
electric grid.

How Does Net Metering Work? Net metering
requires the addition of a monitoring device to
track the amount of electricity being fed into an
energy providers electrical grid,

often in the form of a meter, similar to the one
used by your electric company to determine how
much electricity you use. The exported
electricity is tracked and energy credits are
issued.

It is worth noting, currently energy credits are
paid directly to the individual, who can then use
the money they receive to offset the actual costs
of their electric bills.

Why Is Net Metering Beneficial? Unlike
traditional solar systems that only generated
electricity for a single home, multiple homes
benefit from the excess electricity your system
generated.

While those homes without a solar system do not
get an energy credit payment, they still benefit
from the excess electricity created by your solar
system

because the energy provider does not have to use
natural resources to create electricity. As a
result, it can help control the prices everyone
pays for their electricity.

In addition, net metered electricity can help
meet demands during peak hours and help reduce
the overall strain on electrical grids.

Some electric companies are exploring options of
battery fuel cell plants to store net metered
solar energy for use when it is needed most, like
in the evenings and those hot summer days.

Furthermore, homes with solar systems have more
control over their actual electric usage and
costs. For instance, most people know on average,
how much electricity they useeach month.

16
With a solar system on their home, over time,
they will discover how much electricity is being
created by the system, how much excess is being
fed into the electric grid, and use this
information to determine how much their system is
offsetting their actual usage.

Plus, solar systems allow you to generate your
own electricity efficiently, safely, and cleanly.
So you can rest assured that you are reducing
your carbon footprint and doing something good
for the environment at the same time!
