Get Credit for the Energy Your Solar Panels Make!
With net metering, you can put the energy you make back into the power grid as credits. The state of Ohio says that the power company must give you credit for the energy you make and send to them. You can keep track of these credits on your monthly power bill. Net metering is good for your utility because energy is made close to where it is used. This makes it so that less electricity is lost when power is sent over miles of wires. Also, it makes the grid less stressed during times of high demand, like when it's hot and sunny.
