Net Metering

What is Net Metering?

Net metering is a solar incentive that allows you to store energy in the electric grid. When your solar panels produce more electricity than you need, that energy is sent to the grid in exchange for credits. Then, at night or other times when your solar panels are underproducing, you pull energy from the grid and use these credits to offset the costs of that energy.

HPS Energy offers our customers with solar panels the opportunity to participate in our net metering program.  Below is a guide for how to get started.
