Net metering is a billing mechanism that allows consumers who generate their own electricity using solar panels or other renewable energy sources to send excess electricity back to the grid. When consumers produce more energy than they use, the excess is fed back into the grid, and they receive credits on their electricity bill. This system promotes the use of renewable energy by making solar energy generation more economically viable for households and businesses. It incentivizes energy conservation and encourages the adoption of clean energy technologies, helping reduce dependence on non-renewable energy sources.
