Solar net metering allows solar panels to not only generate power to use on site, but also to contribute excess energy back to the grid. When your solar panels produce more electricity than your home consumes, the surplus is sent back to the utility grid, effectively spinning your meter backwards. This surplus energy is then credited to your account. During times when your solar panels don't produce enough energy (such as at night or on cloudy days), you can draw power from the grid, using the credit bank that you have built up. This seamless back-and-forth ensures a reliable and cost-effective energy supply for your home. Moreover, by feeding surplus energy back into the grid, you're contributing to a more sustainable energy ecosystem, reducing the demand for non-renewable sources and ultimately decreasing your carbon footprint.
