NET METERING
Net metering allows residential and commercial customers who generate their own electricity from solar power to sell the electricity they aren't using back into the grid. Many countries have passed net metering laws.
In some countries, utilities may offer net metering programs voluntarily or as a result of regulatory decisions. Differences between country legislation, regulatory decisions and implementation policies mean that the mechanism for compensating solar customers varies widely across countries.
WHAT IS NET METERING
Net metering is a billing mechanism that credits solar energy system owners for the electricity they add to the grid.
For example, if a residential customer has a PV system on their roof, it may generate more electricity than the home uses during daylight hours. If the home is net-metered, the electricity meter will run backward to provide a credit against what electricity is consumed at night or other periods when the home's electricity use exceeds the system's output. Customers are only billed for their "net" energy use. On average, only 20-40% of a solar energy system’s output ever goes into the grid, and this exported solar electricity serves nearby customers’ loads.
In addition, with virtual offsetting, it is possible to offset the electricity produced with the total electricity consumed, regardless of the place where it is produced and consumed. In other words, production is spatially disconnected from consumption in terms of energy offsetting.
