Abstract

"Nearly all households pay a utility company for electricity on a monthly basis. As discussions of national energy consumption and issues of energy independence become more prevalent, many consumers are considering reducing monthly bills by generating energy themselves. This is typically accomplished by installing a small wind or solar system but can include a host of other technologies as well. Interconnecting a renewable energy generator while connected to a local electrical utility and receiving incremental credit for energy produced is referred to as net metering. Many states have enacted legislation to encourage this practice, so check local laws and utility programs to understand how net metering is applied in your state."--First page.
