According to a study conducted at Queen's University in Canada, the public is in the dark about the viability of photovoltaic energy systems.
Many analysts argue a higher cost of photovoltaic energy because they do not take into account the latest technological advances and drop in prices," says Joshua Pearce, Adjunct Professor, Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering. ''Earlier models for calculating the cost of energy from photovoltaic systems are very conservative''.

Net metering is a policy for electricity aimed at consumers with RES facilities and allows them to use their energy whenever they need it and not only whenever they produce it.
"Net" in this sentence is meant as "what remains after offsetting" and in this particular case is to offset the energy consumed to the energy produced. For example if someone produces 100kWh in one day, these kWh go to the network and can be used at any time. Essentially we use the network as a giant battery.
