How your system works behind the meter

Most of a Swift Current system's value comes from power used behind the meter — electricity your panels make and your home uses on the spot, offsetting energy you'd otherwise buy at 15.476¢/kWh. Only the surplus flows past the meter to SaskPower for net-metering credit.
