Frequently Asked Questions
What is net energy metering in NC?
Net energy metering (also known as NEM or net metering), is one of several interconnection policies offered in North Carolina. An interconnection policy is a fancy phrase for how a utility company compensates you for the extra solar energy you send back to the grid. In North Carolina, net metering has offered the best value compared to other policies such as buy-all-sell-all or sell-excess.
Currently, Duke Energy’s net metering policy offers two credit options to compensate you for the excess solar energy you send to the grid.
