Understanding Net Metering and Net Billing 

Net metering is a system that allows consumers who generate their own electricity – typically through renewable sources like solar panels – to send excess energy back to the grid in exchange for credits.

Net billing is a system where consumers generating their own electricity, usually through renewable sources, sell the excess energy they produce back to the grid at a predetermined rate.

Net metering and net billing are essential for advancing renewable energy adoption in the U.S. Gaining a clear understanding of their mechanisms, policies, and financial implications empowers individuals and businesses to make informed choices.
