WASHINGTON (7News) — Good Morning Washington is back with our Solar Powered Minute series, where we shine a light on the hottest topics about solar energy each week! Joining us again is Wyatt Everhart, Meteorologist and Advisor with Solar Energy World. Homeowners can enjoy many benefits by switching from utility power to solar, including environmental and financial advantages. However, the financial paybacks for solar can change quickly, and there’s an urgent update everyone should know about, especially on the East Coast.
This involves Solar Net Metering credit, which allows homeowners to receive full credit for excess energy their solar system produces during the day. This energy can be drawn back from the grid at night. Utilities have pushed back against this benefit, and recent court rulings in North Carolina and West Virginia have confirmed this trend, with Virginia potentially following suit. Therefore, it’s crucial for homeowners in Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, and New Jersey to act now—get your paperwork ready and your solar system installed while the maximum benefits are still available.
