Find out more about Net Metering and Virtual Net Metering systems
Net Metering is self-consumption using solar. It consists of consuming the electricity produced by your own solar panels during the day, and trading the excess generated into the grid during the night or winter period.
Virtual Net Metering is a perfect solution for households and business as well as energy communities with different stakeholders. It consists of net metering remotely so it allows citizens to benefit from solar net metering without depending on a roof space.
At Electra we collaborate with a network of suppliers, experts and developers to give service to new members all over Greece. Send us info about your energy needs and we will go contact you soon
We are looking for new members and developers, wanna join us?
