Net Metering Program
How Net Metering Works in Newfoundland and Labrador
Your solar system will connect to the grid in Mount Pearl 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 yearly so it's important that your system is sized based on yearly usage. Expected increases in the costs of electricity in Mount Pearl and the Net–Metering program in Newfoundland and Labrador make it a great place for solar.
