One concern a lot of people have before going solar is what happens at night or during the winter? That\u2019s where net metering comes in. <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.empower-solar.com\/client-corner\/#netmetering\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Net metering<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> allows homeowners to power their homes using the sun, even when it isn&#8217;t shining.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is net metering?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After you install solar panels at your home, some utility companies allow you to participate in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/us.sunpower.com\/solar-resources\/what-solar-net-metering-and-how-does-it-work\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">net metering<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. During sunny days, your system may produce more energy than your home will need. Basically, net metering allows you to send this excess energy back to the grid to use later when your system isn\u2019t producing enough energy, like at night or during the winter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How does net metering work?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Home solar panels are going to produce the most energy during the day. This is also typically when homes are using the least amount of energy. This excess energy is automatically sent back to the grid. Your meter will \u201cspin backwards\u201d, and you will <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/home\/energy-and-utilities\/what-is-net-metering-and-how-does-it-work\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">receive a credit<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for the full retail value of the energy your system produces.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During times when your system isn\u2019t producing enough energy to cover your needs, like at night, your house will use energy from the grid, spinning your meter forward. Your utility company will net the difference before your next billing period. Because of net metering, the difference can come to $0, and homeowners can typically see their entire energy bill covered by solar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who benefits from net metering? What are all of the benefits that it provides?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Net metering of course benefits homeowners that have solar installed. It allows them to lower electricity bills and save money, while also reducing their carbon footprint and reliance on traditional energy. This enables owners to utilize energy produced by their system at any time during the year, not just during spring or summer when the sun is at its strongest.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Entire communities can benefit from net metering. Homeowners with solar aren\u2019t using energy from the grid, but their own self-generated electricity. The excess energy being sent to the grid can also be used by non-solar homes, which <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarreviews.com\/blog\/what-is-net-metering-and-how-does-it-work\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reduces pressure on the grid<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and utility power plants.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Net metering also helps communities by providing jobs. An estimated <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seia.org\/initiatives\/net-metering\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">230,000 American workers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are employed in the solar field. Encouraging net metering increases demand for solar, creating more jobs for solar engineers, installers, technicians, and many more positions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How are electricity bills impacted by this?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Home solar can greatly reduce your electricity bill each month. After installation, you could pay as little as $20 each month, which is the basic service charge required by PSEG LI or ConEd to keep your home connected to the grid. With net metering, you are able to guarantee that your home&#8217;s electric bills will remain low. This allows you to save each month, even during months when the sun isn\u2019t as strong.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Should I switch to net metering?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you already have solar installed, net metering can help you keep electric bills low, even when the sun isn\u2019t shining.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Due to inflation and rising energy prices, homeowners are looking for a solution to lower bills. Net metering allows you to capture every bit of energy that your system produces. Enrolling in a program can help further reduce your energy bill. Over the course of your system&#8217;s 25 year lifetime, you can <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.empower-solar.com\/home-solar\/solar-panel-cost\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">expect to save over $100,000<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on home electricity bills. The best part? <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.empower-solar.com\/blog\/how-does-solar-help-control-rising-costs\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cost of solar is fixed<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This means that once your system is installed and paid for, you will never owe another dime.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s easy to check to confirm that you are enrolled in a net metering program. The first thing to do is examine your meter to see if there is a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.newsday.com\/polopoly_fs\/1.31941286.1559605241!\/httpImage\/image.jpg_gen\/derivatives\/landscape_768\/image.jpg\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">net metering sticker<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on it. You can also check to see if the meter number is different from the number usually listed on your old electric bill. Your kWh readings should also be significantly lower than your pre-solar bills.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get a Free Solar Estimate Today!<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.empower-solar.com\/calendly-book-your-appointment\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contact us today<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to begin your solar journey and start net metering.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Solar power can help reduce energy bills, increase resiliency, and allow homeowners to lower their carbon footprint.
