The purpose of the program is to allow customers of DEWA to install their own grid-connected solar (PV) panels on their property, and utilize the electricity generated to offset the monthly bill from DEWA. The solar program is based on the Net Metering Scheme, which stipulates that DEWA’s monthly bill will reflect the net amount of electricity used in the period. In other words, if more electricity is exported than imported from the grid one month, the invoiced value will be zero. Any surplus amount of electricity exported to the grid will be credited and thereby offset future electricity bills for building owners Read More
