Unless you mean turn EVERYTHING off during the day, net metering won’t mean anything to you with 300 watts, because your fridge alone will use what that much panel produces. Throw in a few “phantom” loads like a clock or two, your TV/sat dish/DSL router/etc, and you have nothing to worry about with net,because you won’t be producing any excess at all.

The Energy Policy Act of 2005 under Sec.1251, all public electric utilities are now required to make available upon request Net Metering to their customers.

So i bought a couple solar panels and a power inverter, 300 watts not much but being a single guy i can turn off everything when i go to work and my meter will spin backwards all day.
The Act says upon request so i requested the power company get me set up. Even after i informed them of the Energy Policy Act and that on their own website it says that they do offer net metering, i was told they do not have to and they will not. Can they still deny net metering to their customers really?
