Solar panels absorb the sun’s energy throughout the day and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity. Most homes and businesses run on alternating current (AC) electricity, so the DC electricity is then passed through an inverter to convert it to usable AC electricity. At that point, you either use the electricity in your house or send it back to the electric grid.
If you are interested in maximizing the financial returns of your solar energy system, buying the system is probably a better decision for you. However, if you are not able to take advantage of the tax credit, leasing may be a better option.
Net metering is the system that utilities use to credit solar energy system owners for the electricity produced by their solar panels. With net metering, you get credit for the excess energy you produce and send back to the grid. Net metering policies differ from state to state, and utility to utility.
