Net metering for private solar and wind generation
How net metering works. Solar panels or wind turbines convert energy from the sun or wind into electricity. An inverter converts the electricity for the customer''s use. The electricity is used by the customer. A net meter measures the difference between energy used and energy produced. Excess energy travels on NorthWestern Energy''s power lines.
