How about selling electricity generated by photovoltaic panels to the grid
Solar net metering is a smart, rewarding way to get the most out of your solar panel system. It works by sending extra electricity your panels produce back to the power grid, sometimes even letting you sell solar energy back to the grid. In return, you earn credits that can lower. . Self-consumption beats exports – Maximizing the solar electricity you use directly in your home typically provides better financial returns than exporting excess to the grid, especially with time-of-use rates and battery storage becoming more common in 2025. However, the way that you can earn income from excess solar power is through net metering.
