Turn Your Solar System Into a Money-Making Investment
Net metering is one of the most valuable benefits of going solar, allowing you to earn credits for the excess electricity your solar panels produce. At Reliant SunTech, we handle all the complexities of net metering setup and management, ensuring you maximize your solar investment's financial returns.
What is Net Metering?
Net metering is a billing arrangement that allows solar panel owners to receive credit for the electricity they generate and feed back into the grid. When your solar panels produce more electricity than your home or business consumes, the excess power is automatically sent to the utility grid. Your electric meter literally runs backward, giving you credits that offset your future electricity bills.
How Net Metering Works
During the Day:
- Your solar panels generate electricity
- Your home or business uses what it needs
- Excess power flows back to the grid
- You earn credits on your utility bill
At Night or During Low Production:
- You draw electricity from the grid as needed
- Previously earned credits are applied to your bill
- You only pay for net electricity usage
