Net Metering Program
Net metering allows your commercial solar system to send excess electricity back to the grid, earning credits that significantly reduce your electricity bills and improve your ROI.
Your solar panels generate electricity during daylight hours, powering your business operations.
When you produce more energy than you use, the excess is automatically exported to the grid.
You receive credits for the energy you export, which are tracked by your utility company.
During nights or cloudy days, you use grid power and your accumulated credits offset the costs.
No energy goes to waste - every kWh produced has value
Significantly reduce or eliminate electricity bills
Protect against rising utility rates
Improve payback period and ROI
Available across most Canadian provinces
Automatic credit tracking and billing
