Challenges of Net-Metering and Its Impact on Consumers
October 10, 2026
The net-metering system, which allows households to benefit from green energy production, is currently malfunctioning. Authorities have been forced to cut energy production due to high injection levels into the grid. As a result, solar panel owners are witnessing their investments not yielding expected returns. The new net billing system, which applies to new solar panel applications, has a different calculation for consumption and production that is less favorable for consumers. Additionally, the lack of a central storage system exacerbates the problem, leading to potential loss of surplus energy.
