How do I know which option is best for me?

Net-metering – This is the most popular program this year. This option will give you a lower initial return on investment but over the life of the system it will give you a much higher ROI than any other option. Net-metering is much faster to get approved and much less restrictive than MicroFIT
Grid-interactive Net Zero – This option is used when you have a grid connection but the utililty will not let you connect a solar system to it. It is more expensive than net-metering or microFIT but it has the added bonus that you will have power when the grid is down.
Off-grid – This is only suitable if there is no grid connection available. It is the most expensive option.
