Net Metering Broken Down
Under LADWP's net metering program, solar customers export power to the grid to offset their power bill at a 1kWh for 1kWh rate. After paying off the power drawn from the grid ,you can either carry the credits forward for future bills or receive a check.
Granada Hills has a far better net metering program since it doesn't require its customers to switch to time of use billing, which hurts returns.
