This video illustrates the process of Net Metering, where photovoltaic (PV) panels provide energy with any excess kilowatts generated going back into the utility grid for credit on one's electricity bill. In addition, rebates and/or tax incentives from your state may be available. The illustrated system is in Vermont.

In this case, the solar home is implemented via panels installed on a separate structure--a garage, but can also be installed on the roof of the house itself or as a freestanding array.

  • Moe, Hydro power is a very clean form of energy, More specifically, I should have said that solar is the cleanest form of energy possible for domestic use. Many more people have a roof or a yard for a pole than have a fast running stream of water. Are you using any renewables now?

  • you say solar power is the cleanest..how is it cleaner than hydro power ?

  • Great video...I converted my home to a net-zero solar powered home that uses no oil or gas...I made a video about it called, "Preparing for Peak Oil"....

  • This is a must see video helps explains how a strong personal investment in your home can take advantages of the benefits that comes from a strong netmetering by the power you create turns back your meter.
