Program Details
The initial credit rate on your bill will be approximately $0.04 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) and will remain at that level for the first 36 months. Starting with the 37th month of continuous enrollment, the rate will increase 1.5% annually, eventually exceeding your fee and delivering a positive return. The longer you remain in the program, the more you are projected to save on your bill.
The actual monthly bill credit amount will vary seasonally, as solar energy production is greater during months with more direct sunlight.
