Net Metering Program
How Net Metering Works in New Brunswick
Your solar system will connect to the grid in Fredericton via the Net–Metering program. Excess energy you produce is credited by your power company at the retail electricity rate, balancing out your usage across day and night, as well as summer and winter months. These credits expire every year in March, so it's important to design a solar system around your usage. The costs of electricity, abundant sunlight, and the Net–Metering program in Fredericton make it one of the best places in Canada for solar.
