The electricity generated by the solar power system will be fed into your electricity load to help power your home or business in the first instance. The premises will be connected to the electricity grid via a meter (or meters) which record both electricity imported from the grid and electricity exported to the grid. When the electricity produced by the solar PV system exceeds your demand for electricity this excess electricity will be fed into the grid via the appropriate (export) register of the meter. The meter will record the amount of electricity exported to the grid rather than the total amount of electricity generated by the solar system. When you use more electricity than is being produced by the solar PV system, the balance of electricity required will be taken from the electricity grid and recorded via the appropriate (import) register of the meter.
