Energy Details
Net Metering Explained
How It Works: Excess solar energy is sent to the grid. Your utility credits you for this energy, offsetting future usage.
Credit Rates: Some states credit at full retail rate, others at reduced or wholesale rates. Check your utility's net metering policy.
Use this net metering savings calculator to compute solar & energy results from your inputs.
Formula
Self-consumed = Production × Self-consumption % Exported to grid = Production - Self-consumed Imported from grid = Consumption - Self-consumed Export credits = Exported × Export rate Import costs = Imported × Import rate Net monthly cost = Import costs - Export credits Monthly savings = (Consumption × Import rate) - Net monthly cost
