Community Solar and Net Metering
Can you subscribe to the Community Solar program as an existing Net Metering customer?
Will I save more by subscribing to Community Solar with behind the meter Net Metering?
Because community solar and some behind-the-meter revenues are bill credits (as opposed to value a customer can cash out), it is important to size the applicable credits to the portions of the bill that can be offset. The potential savings opportunity may be reduced (or even negative) if your bill credits exceed the amount of your electric bill over time.
Billing and Service Information
How does the billing work?
How do I reconcile my bill?
The mc² community solar subscription invoice will be billed after the monthly generation data from the community solar project is reconciled and validated with the utility which means that there could be up to a one-month lag of the subscription fee invoice depending on your meter read cycle timing. To reconcile the net savings for a specific month, please refer to the billing period listed on your recent mc² subscription fee invoice and compare it to the corresponding generation period listed on your utility bill.
