Solar panels interact with the electrical grid through a process called net metering. When solar panels generate excess electricity, it is fed back into the grid, and the homeowner or business owner receives credits for the energy they contribute. During times when solar panels do not produce enough electricity, such as at night or on cloudy days, energy is drawn from the grid to meet the demand. This bidirectional flow of electricity allows solar panel owners to offset their energy consumption and reduce their electricity bills.
Solar panels interact with the electrical grid through a process called net metering. When solar panels produce more electricity than is being used, the excess power is sent back to the grid, and the owner is credited for the energy produced. Conversely, when solar panels don't generate enough electricity, energy is pulled from the grid to meet the demand. This bidirectional flow enables solar panel owners to offset their energy usage and contribute to the overall energy supply.
