Net metering is one of the ways how a solar system makes you money and a big reason for why people prefer to connect solar panels to the grid. When you pull the energy from the grid, the meter runs forward. When you export excess energy from your PV system, the meter goes backward. At the end of the month, you pay the difference.

A grid that I used to know. The electric grid is commonly segmented into two networks; the distribution network and the transmission network. In Australia, the distribution network delivers electricity from substations to homes and businesses and ranges from a low voltage (415 volts) to high voltage (66,000 volts).
Thereby, global harmonization of these requirements would assist the manufacturers in developing a market-oriented ''universal'' RESs equipment. On the other hand, at the renewable energy side, during unbalanced grid conditions, the RES connected to the grid will be affected which needs more investigation.
