What is Net-Metering?
​​
Net-Metering is a government-supported program that makes solar more affordable and practical for everyone.
​
With Net-Metering, Filipino households and businesses can earn credits by selling excess electricity back to the grid.
​
Basically, you use the electricity your solar panels produce during the day. If you produce more than you consume, the extra power is exported to the grid.
Your electric company then gives you credits, reducing your bill.
​
In short: Consume what you produce, and sell the rest!
