Net Metering Program
How Net Metering Works in Nova Scotia
Your solar system will connect to the grid via the Net-Metering program. Excess energy you produce is saved in credits by your power company at the retail electricity rate, balancing out your usage across day and night, as well as summer and winter months.
In Nova Scotia, with Time-of-Use billing, On-Peak hours coincide with peak solar generation times, earning you credits at higher On-Peak rates.
Net Metering in Nova Scotia makes it simple for a home solar installation to cover your bills year-round.
