CleanPowerSF's Net Energy Metering (NEM) Program

Customers with rooftop solar energy systems on their homes or commercial buildings can reduce monthly electric bill by generating their own clean power. Under a program called Net Energy Metering, customers that generate their own solar power receive credit on their bills for the excess energy they spill to the grid each month. Those credits may subsequently be used to offset the cost of energy purchased from the grid in a subsequent month. Customers that generate more power than they consume during the year are eligible to receive a payment from CleanPowerSF. Learn more about CleanPowerSF's NEM program.
