Do I need a special agreement to start selling electricity from solar panels?
Yes, you will typically need a special agreement with your utility company to start selling electricity from your solar panels. This agreement is called a net metering agreement, and it allows you to sell the excess electricity that your solar panels generate back to the grid.
To obtain a net metering agreement, you will need to contact your utility company and let them know that you have installed solar panels and would like to sell the excess electricity they generate back to the grid. The utility company will then review your application and determine if you are eligible for a net metering agreement.
If you are eligible, the utility company will provide you with the necessary paperwork and instructions for setting up the net metering agreement. This will typically involve installing a special meter that is capable of measuring the amount of electricity that your solar panels are generating, as well as the amount of electricity that you are using from the grid.
Once the net metering agreement is in place, you can start selling the excess electricity that your solar panels generate back to the grid. The utility company will then credit your account for the electricity that you sell, which you can use to offset the cost of the electricity that you use from the grid at other times.
