Net Metering

BC has net metering, which allows homes with solar power to plug into the grid easily. As a net metering customer, when you generate more electricity than you consume, you receive a credit to your account. If solar is not providing all of the energy, the grid will supply the rest. This page gives in-depth information about the BC Hydro Net Metering Program.
