Residential and commercial customers save 5% on the solar portion of their utility bill (the subscription fee is 5% less than the solar bill credit a customer receives). Low-income customer subscription fees are discounted 40%. Aggregate bill savings will vary based on the relationship between your total consumption and subscription size, however your subscription fee discount is locked throughout your subscription. Subscriptions are typically sized to meet 80-90% of a customer's annual energy needs to avoid oversubscription.
If you move within the same utility service area, you can transfer your subscription to your new address. If you move outside the area, we'll help you cancel without penalties.
Our subscriptions are designed to be flexible. Most plans allow you to cancel with 30-60 days’ notice, with no fees, ensuring you’re never locked into something that doesn’t work for you.
