While not widely used outside of the US, net metering has been a critical tool stimulating US solar growth and fairly compensating solar homeowners and small businesses for
the extra electricity they generate from their solar systems (beyond what they use).
The escalating battle centers over two ways traditional utilities have found to counter the rapidly growing solar market: demanding a share of the power generated by renewables and opposing net metering, which allows solar panel users to sell
