It has become increasingly common to see solar panels on the roofs of retail spaces, warehouses, office buildings, etc. While some businesses could easily produce enough solar energy to meet their consumption needs, production is largely weather dependent which means on sunny days they may produce more than they need and on cloudy days, they may not produce enough.
One solution for this issue is Net Metering.
If you are considering solar power for your business, it is likely that you have heard the term “net metering” but you may be unsure of exactly what it means. Simply put, net metering allows you to produce your own electricity, avoiding costly energy rates during peak times.
In other words, you are billed only for the net energy that your business uses – i.e. the difference between the energy you consume minus the energy you produce. Oftentimes, our clients who are net metered will see their meters running backwards. This means they are producing more power than they are using, and depending on what the local policies are in their area, they may receive a credit on their energy bill.
These credits can then be used for times when solar cells are not producing sufficient energy such as when it is cloudy out or when it is nighttime.
If you have further questions about net metering and you would like to discuss how you might benefit, contact Daisy Energy today.
Net metering can be an ideal solution when there is a storage (battery) system connected to your solar power system. With a storage system, any excess energy produced can be used at the time that it is generated to charge the batteries for use when the power goes out or when the sun is not shining.
