Chapter 1 - Why Go Solar?
Get Paid by the Utility with Net Metering
When your solar panels produce more energy than your home uses, that extra power gets sent back to the grid. Through Net Energy Metering (NEM), your utility company gives you credits for that excess energy—lowering or even reversing your electric bill. In some cases, if your system produces more than you use over time, you can get paid for the surplus. It’s like turning your roof into a money-making machine.
