Household solar installations are called behind-the-meter solar; the meter measures how much electricity a consumer buys from a utility. Since distributed solar is “behind” the meter, customers do not pay the utility for the solar power generated. The cost of owning DER varies from state to state and among utility companies. One way the
Distributed solar actually means distributed generation of solar power. Solar electricity produced by households using rooftop systems is referred to as ''distributed solar''. This contrasts with centralized generation where solar electricity is produced by a large plant and then distributed to consumers through a power distribution network (grid).Distributed solar will normally be
