net metering
If you’re interested in protection from your electric company’s rate increases, then you’ll definitely want to have a basic understanding of how net metering works, especially if you’re in Missouri. Net metering policies allow electric utility customers to send power onto the electric grid and get credit for it. How much credit you receive depends on your utility. These programs are regulated through state entities, such as the Public Service Commission or Public Utilities Commission.
Why it’s important to you
Electric companies are typically only required to offer net metering credit programs to a small percentage of their customer base. Once program caps are reached, credits lose significant value, which results in customers needing to include more solar panels or batteries, adding to system costs. It’s very important to determine what your utility net metering policy is prior to investing in solar. We can help when you’re ready.
Some electric companies, and many in Missouri, match customers with one to one credits whenever over production occurs from an attached solar energy system. That means if you have a solar panel array at your home that produces more power than your property needs when the sun is shining, the extra energy will go through your electric meter and back onto the electric grid. When that power passes through the meter, it gets recorded and is reflected on your next electric bill.
Grid-tied solar
If your goal is to protection from rising electricity rates and lower your electric bill grid-tied solar may be the option you need. Grid-tied refers to a solar energy system that connects to your homes electric panel, which is connected to the electric grid these systems don’t require batteries and are able to send excess energy back to your electric utility provider. They offer the lowest upfront investment and are a great match with net metering programs.
battery backup and powertanks
Battery backup systems, also known as PowerTanks, combine solar panels with energy storage to provide reliable power, even when the grid goes down. During the day, solar panels generate electricity, powering your home and charging the battery. At night or during outages, the battery automatically supplies stored energy, ensuring uninterrupted power. This system offers on-grid reliability by reducing dependence on utility companies and off-grid freedom by enabling energy independence. Whether for emergency backup or full-time energy storage, battery backup solar maximizes self-sufficiency, lowers electricity costs, and provides peace of mind. Take Back Your Power with a system designed for resilience and control.
