Traditionally, there have been four options to pay for a solar energy system. Two are direct purchases, where you own the system, and two are third-party owner payment options. Each
We are pleased to announce the release of the latest edition of Berkeley Lab''s Tracking the Sun annual report, describing trends for distributed solar photovoltaic (PV)
Compare all payment methods: cash purchase, solar loans, leases, PPAs, and PACE financing. Find the best option for your budget and maximize your solar savings.
Here''s one example you can test out with this solar calculator. If you spend 16,420 kWh worth of electricity per year and live in an area with 6 peak sun hours, you will need a 10k solar system
Rate Plans are also known as Rate Schedules, and they determine how much you pay for energy based on how much and/or when you consume it during the billing cycle. As a rate payer, you
Modeling loads and PV on distribution feeders with high penetration of residential behind-the-meter (BTM) PV systems can be a challenge whenever limited measurement is available.
Whether you have cash on hand, prefer monthly payments, or want to keep your capital available for other opportunities, there''s a financing option designed for your situation.
Customers have the option to offset their energy usage by net metering with their utility company or to sell the generated power and renewable energy credits to the utility company or a third

Estimates the energy production and cost of energy of grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) energy systems throughout the world. It allows homeowners, small building owners, installers and manufacturers to easily develop estimates of the performance of potential PV installations
Caution: Photovoltaic system performance predictions calculated by PVWatts ® include many inherent assumptions and uncertainties and do not reflect variations between PV technologies nor site-specific characteristics except as represented by PVWatts ® inputs.
For example, if your baseline quantity is 210 kWh/month and you use a total of 600 kWh/month, you’d be charged $.18/kWh for the first 210 kWh ($37.80) plus $.24/kWh for the next 210 ($50.40) plus $.40/kWh for the remaining 180 kWh ($72) for a total of $160.20.
