With net metering you sign an agreement, install a bidirectional meter and export surplus for credits worth 50 per cent of the exported units under the 2024 regulations. With zero export, a device or setting limits the inverter so nothing flows back to the grid, so no approval for export is needed. Net metering suits large daytime surplus; zero export plus batteries suits most homes.
Key takeaways
- Net metering: approved export for 50% credits.
- Zero export: keep it all on site.
- Batteries store surplus for evenings.
- Check limits: 4 kW single-phase, 10 kW three-phase.
