Net Metering
Net metering programs allow customers who generate more solar energy than they consume to sell the excess electricity back to their local utility. Nearly forty states plus the District of Columbia feature some kind of net metering program, though the amount of electricity that can be sold back varies. SEIA supports a single national standard for net metering, which would allow customers credit from a solar energy system up to 2,000 kilowatts (2 megawatts).
