Producing
the renewable sun energy that is environmentally sound becomes the best decision
for people for both commercial and residential needs. But the main thing that form
problem for user is what they use in cloudy days, night and winters. Net Metering is the most effective and
highly useful solution of this problem that enables to use the energy throughout
the year without paying extra charges.
What isNet Metering?
Implemented
by numbers of people, this solar energy system is a great policy that enables
private people to benefit a lot from self-power generation that works in combination
with electric utilities. The process by which energy generated from sun is fed
into the grid from residential as well as commercial solar electricity systems.
It can be defined as the special metering and billing arrangement between the
user and the utility company. You can use the generated electricity first
avoiding the situation of buying it.
How it Works?
If
in a day, you produce more electricity using the solar energy generating system
than what actually yourresidential or business needs, the excess amount will
automatically go into the utility grid through electric meter to be feed to
other consumers. This electricity is then allowed to run backward via electric
meter and out into the grid. During this process, the meter runs on backward
direction. Producing the surplus electricity puts it again into the electric
grid.
What are its Benefits?
The
biggest advantage of this system is to utilize every watt of energy generated
by individual solar electricity producing system in any way either immediately or
from energy already saved in their utility bank. This may result into zero bills
at the month end. Another advantage is that a customer needsno expensive
battery bank.
