This wiring diagram shows a solar system with net metering. Solar panels are used to produce electricity. Then this DC electricity is directed through a DC disconnect switch for safety during maintenance and a DC combiner box to consolidate outputs. After that, a DC-to-AC inverter converts the DC electricity into AC for use in the home, which is then sent to different appliances through an AC distribution box. After crediting solar power generation against grid usage, a net meter tracks electricity usage both from and back to the grid. The homeowner is only invoiced for the net quantity consumed. Additionally, the diagram includes safety elements such grounding connections and fuses.
