Yes, LIPA offers net metering under a "voluntary program" to residential and, now, limited commercial customers. Excess energy production rolls your meter in reverse. If your total energy consumption for the year is negative, you will get a check based on LIPA's "avoided cost rate". LIPA's "avoided cost rate" is a wholesale rate $.0375 which is obviously significantly lower than their peak residental rate which is closer to $.273.

What is Net Metering?
The grid connected rooftop system can work on net metering basis wherein the beneficiary pays to the utility on net meter reading basis only. Alternatively two meters can also be installed to major the export and import of power separately. The mechanism based on gross metering at mutually agreed tariff can also be adopted.
How does net metering impact an electric consumer?
Net metering allows electric consumers with renewable energy systems, such as solar panels, to receive credits for excess energy they generate and send back to the grid. This can result in lower electricity bills as consumers can offset the cost of the electricity they consume with the credits they earn. Net metering can also provide an incentive for consumers to invest in renewable energy systems.
Can smart meters turn backwards i am installing a plug and play solar system will excess power produced turn a smart meter backwards?
you will need more than a plug and go system to produce excess power to feed back to the grid. Plus depending on where u live you need to have an agreement with the power company to get anything out of this. you cant just wind your meter back and say hey you owe me money. You need proper equipment to feed back to the grid
How does the process of back feeding electricity work in a power grid system?
Back feeding electricity in a power grid system occurs when excess electricity generated by a consumer's own power source, such as solar panels or a generator, is sent back into the grid. This process involves a bi-directional meter that measures the flow of electricity in both directions, allowing the consumer to receive credit for the excess electricity they contribute to the grid.
What can happen when a solar power system produces more power than what is needed?
Depending on the system the excess can either be stored in batteries or depending on the country sold back into the "grid" if the producer is "on the grid"
What happens if my solar panels produce more electricity than I use?
If your solar panels produce more electricity than you use, the excess energy can be sent back to the grid for a credit on your electricity bill. This process is known as net metering.
What is Solar Grid Tie System?
Grid Tie Solar System are directly connected with the public grid. It generated energy only when the utility grid is working.Grid System are commonly used in Urban Area.
Why would an electric meter on your house turn backwards?
Because the utility customer is providing energy to the grid. Usually because of net metering of renewable systems.
What is difference between solar home lightning system and solar grid system?
The home system is purely that: it serves only the single house. A solar grid system would feed the national grid.
Name of psychologist who developed grid OD system?
Hermann is the psychologist who developed the grid OD system.
How does national grid make electricity?
The North American national grid does not make the electricity. The grid is a distribution system that transports power throughout the system to homes that are connected to it. The power for the grid is produced elsewhere at generating stations that feed into the grid.
How is the grid system used?
it does
