What is net metering, and how does it work?

Net metering is a billing mechanism that allows homeowners and businesses with solar panels to sell excess electricity generated by their system back to the utility grid. When your solar panels produce more electricity than you consume, the excess is sent to the grid, and your electric meter runs backward. You receive credits for this excess energy, which can offset your electricity bill. Net metering policies vary by location, but they generally make going solar more financially attractive by allowing you to earn credits for the electricity your system generates.

How do I know if my roof is suitable for solar panels?

A suitable roof for solar panels should have:

• Adequate Sunlight: Unobstructed sunlight for a significant portion of the day.
• Sufficient Space: Enough space to accommodate the desired number of panels.
• Structural Integrity: A strong roof structure capable of supporting the weight of the panels.
• Appropriate Orientation and Tilt: Ideally, the roof should face south (in the Northern Hemisphere) or north (in the Southern Hemisphere) with a tilt angle close to the latitude of your location. However, other orientations and tilts can still be effective.

A qualified solar installer can assess your roof during a site visit and determine its suitability for solar.

How do I choose the right solar panel system size for my needs?

Choosing the right solar panel system size depends on your energy consumption, budget, and available roof space. A qualified solar installer will:

• Analyze your energy bills
• Assess your roof's suitability
• Calculate your potential solar energy generation
• Recommend a system size that meets your needs and goals.

They will also consider factors like future energy needs (e.g., if you plan to purchase an electric vehicle) and the potential for battery storage.
