In Washington State, owners of solar electric systems using both Made in Washington modules and inverters, receive $0.54 per kWh produced.  This means you will receive up to $5,000 per year from your local utility company for energy produced by your solar array.

Net metering allows solar customers to generate your own electricity cleanly and efficiently. During the day and in the summer, most solar arrays produce more electricity than your home consumes; net metering allows you to export that power to the grid and reduce your future electric bills.  On days when you are generating more energy than your house uses, your electricity meter will run backwards to provide a credit against electricity consumed at night or other times when your electricity use exceeds the system’s output.  Every dollar you save by producing your own energy is money back in your pocket.
