How your bill works
Under RRES you pick Buy-All (paid a set rate for production) or Netting (bill credits when you send power out).
To get connected
- Apply through the utility with a licensed installer
- Program rate locks for the term once approved
- Expect a production meter on many projects
Insurance
Normal home coverage; provide proof if the utility asks.
