Generate Solar Power and Support Renewable Energy
Net metering is a utility billing method that credits residential and business customers for the excess electricity generated by their solar panel systems. This program allows customers to produce electricity on the grid, and the partnership between the utility and the customer supports renewable energy efforts in Utah.
How Does Net Metering Work?
A rooftop solar system can generate more electricity than is consumed by the home or business owner during daylight hours. Net metering allows this excess energy to be sent back to the local power grid, providing a credit on your electricity bill. During the day, your solar panels may produce more electricity than you need. Net metering sends this excess energy to the grid.
Billing and Credits
You are billed for the amount of energy used, however, if there is excess energy generated that isn't consumed, credits can accumulate and be used against future electric utility bills, even through the winter months. Make note not to oversize the system as credits are cleared annually by the utility.
