I know of quite a few places where through net metering you don't get full price, you get the wholesale rate for your production which is significantly less.
- wat10000 7mo agoIsn't that something other than net metering? Wikipedia calls that one "net purchase and sale."
- hvb2 7mo agoSure, I'm mentioning this because the number of places where you feed in at the retail rate is shrinking. It's great to get renewables on people's homes but as you get more of it, it becomes very expensive as fewer people pay for the base load
- msandford 6mo agoNot to be rude, but that's definitionally NOT net metering. Net metering is where you only get changed for your net consumption. If they're looking at your gross consumption and gross production separately, it just can't be net metering. You might still decide to sell solar to the grid for the wholesale price and get a reduction in your bill, but it's not net metering.
