Giving customers control

Net Metering allows utility customers to generate their own electricity cleanly and efficiently. During the day, most solar customers produce more electricity than they consume; net metering allows them to export that power to the grid and reduce their future electric bills.

California public agencies and schools will save $2.5 billion in electricity costs over the next 30 years using net metering.

SOLAR EDGE intro video

SolarEdge™’s grid services offer aggregative control and data reporting enabling the pooling of PV and storage in the cloud for the creation of virtual power plants.

Offering benefits to all stakeholders, the solution will provide utilities with the tools to leverage distributed energy generation systems to more efficiently meet demand.

Solar Edge Technology Overview

This video from SolarEdge features the different inverter types and how to install them.

A short comparison of the three inverter topologies string inverters, microinverters and SolarEdge DC optimized inverters.

Protecting the Grid

Unfortunately, some utilities perceive net metering policies as lost revenue opportunities. In fact, net metering policies create a smoother demand curve for electricity and allow utilities to better manage their peak electricity loads. By encouraging generation near the point of consumption, net metering also reduces the strain on distribution systems and prevents losses in long-distance electricity transmission and distribution.
