Monthly net metering allows consumers to use solar power generated during the day at night, or wind from a windy day later in the month. Annual net metering rolls over a net kilowatt-hour (kWh) credit to the following month, allowing solar power that was generated in July to be used in December, or wind power from March in August.
Growth of net metering in the United States. Net metering is a policy by many states in the United States designed to help the adoption of renewable energy.Net metering was pioneered in the United States as a way to allow solar and wind to provide electricity whenever available and allow use of that electricity whenever it was needed, beginning with utilities in Idaho in 1980, and in Arizona ...
In early 2024, a conflict arose in Puerto Rico over a law supporting solar energy. Act 10, passed in 2023 and signed in January 2024, extended net metering for new home solar systems until 2031. Net metering allows solar panel owners to sell excess electricity back to the grid, making solar more affordable.
Aug. 16—MORGANTOWN — We recently reported on the significant growth of net-metering customers for FirstEnergy's West Virginia sisters Mon Power and Potomac Edison. AEP's West Virginia sisters ...
As of March 2015, 44 states and Washington, D.C. have developed mandatory net metering rules for at least some utilities. [122] However, although the states' rules are clear, few utilities actually compensate at full retail rates. [123] Net metering policies are determined by states, which have set policies varying on a number of key dimensions.
Consumers whose homes or businesses have solar panels that generate power can typically sell back excess electricity to the power grid in a process called net metering. For 2017, from its annual conference (held in July in San Diego), interoperability was a key issue.
In an electricity distribution grid, the load profile of electricity usage is important to the efficiency and reliability of power transmission.The power transformer or battery-to-grid are critical aspects of power distribution and sizing and modelling of batteries or transformers depends on the load profile.

Net energy metering, or ‘NEM’, provides full retail credit to residents, businesses, schools, and other public agencies when their solar systems export surplus energy to the grid. The utility then ends up selling this surplus energy to other customers nearby. [ 6 ]
