ANSWER: Solar energy generation
Net metering (or net energy metering, NEM) allows consumers who generate some or all of their own electricity to use that electricity anytime, instead of when it is generated.
Monthly net metering allows consumers to use solar power generated during the day at night, or wind from a windy day later in the month.
Annual net metering rolls over a net kilowatt credit to the following month, allowing solar power that was generated in July to be used in December, or wind power from March in August.
