Would you please elaborate on "net metering". How was your experience with HE? Did you completely eliminate batteries from your PV system? What, if any, are the special wiring considerations (For example, is your house wired with two circuits - 1 HE circuit and 1 PV circuit?) Do you have any warning/suggestions for somebody who may be considering installing a net metering system.
Keep in mind that I have absolutely NO experience with PV systems, let alone net metering, so I'll apologize in advance if any of my questions border on the ridiculous.
