This meter will measure both the flow of grid electricity into your home and the flow of energy from your solar panels into the grid.<\/p>\n<p>This way, it can determine your net energy usage and if you have used more than you put into the grid, you will pay for that difference, or if you put more energy into the grid than you used, you will receive credits on your account.<br \/>This program allows you to essentially use your solar energy even after it is produced since many people are at work or school or otherwise not using much electricity during the daytime when solar panels are
