Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
- Exp. [a] Net metering allows residential and commercial customers who generate their own electricity from solar power to feed electricity they do not use back into the grid. Net metering is a billing mechanism that credits solar energy system owners for the electricity they add to the grid. Net metering policies can vary significantly by country and by state or province: Most net metering laws involve monthly roll over of kWh credits, a small monthly connection fee, require monthly payment of deficits (i.e. normal electric bill), and annual settlement of any residual credit.
