Net Metering Systems are most often used in suburban, metropolitan or other areas that already have an existing utility supply infrastructure. Use of a net metering system will connect your solar power system to the existing utility grid. Your utility inverter will then monitor the solar energy coming from the solar panels in addition to the energy being used by the house, building or group of buildings. Your result after monitoring is the 'net' value. If you produce more energy with your solar power system than you are using, you will actually feed energy back into the utility grid and turn the meter backwards! Utility companies will bank or credit this you will see savings in your electric bill. A PV Solar net metering system of this type is the most cost-effective for reducing your utility bill. PurHarvest can design a net metering system to meet any energy supply requirement and almost any budget. Even better, your system can be expanded in the future if more power generation capacity is required. Additionally, your PV Solar Net Monitoring system can be installed to operate in parallel without any interference.
