Net Metering

Spin your meter backwards.

When your solar panels make more electricity than your home is using, the extra flows back to the grid — and your utility credits you for it. That's net metering, and it's one of the biggest reasons rooftop solar pays off so quickly.

Daytime production

Your panels generate clean electricity, powering your home first.

Excess flows to grid

Anything you don't use exports to the utility — your meter literally spins backwards.

Bill credits

Your utility credits your account, offsetting power you pull at night.

Rules vary by state.

New York's Value of Distributed Energy Resources, Florida's 1:1 retail-rate netting, Connecticut's net-metering with Eversource and UI — every state Solar Stars serves has its own program. We design every system to maximize your specific utility's compensation structure, and we walk you through it in plain English before you sign anything.
