What is Net-Metering?
If a solar energy system produces more power at any given moment than the property consumes, the extra power will flow into the Austin Energy electric grid. Over any month when a solar energy system sends more power into the Austin Energy grid than the homes takes from the grid, the difference or net will result in a credit on the customer’s electric bill. The credit will be determined by multiplying the net kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity fed into the grid times the current fuel charge, or Green Choice rate for Green Choice customers.
