Net metering lets you earn credits for surplus solar energy sent back to the grid. Here is how it works with Atlantic City Electric.
Solar panels are installed on your roof or property and wired to an inverter.
Your system is interconnected with the utility grid through a bidirectional meter.
Panels produce electricity throughout the day, powering your home first.
A smart meter measures electricity flowing both to and from the grid in real time.
Excess energy sent to the grid earns credits that offset your future electric bills.
