Solar panels
We got this email in today from Duke Energy Progress. We got our bidirectional meter on Tuesday and are officially authorized to generate electricity!
We have received the Certificate of Completion verifying the installation of your solar PV system, and your residential meter has been exchanged with a bi-directional meter. You are fully enrolled in the Duke Energy Progress SunSense Solar PV Program effective June 2013. This 60-month commitment requires your participation on our Schedule R-TOUD, Net Meter and SSR riders in order to receive a monthly SunSense bill credit. Here’s what to expect:
Your next Duke Energy Progress bill statement will reflect your previous rate structure (i.e. Residential rate or TOU rate if previously enrolled) from the time you placed your system in service until your next meter read date. Any excess solar production will be tracked for net-metering purposes, and will be displayed as “Energy Received by Duke Energy Progress” on a bill insert.
Billing under Schedule R-TOUD, Net Meter and SSR riders shall begin with the next full billing cycle. That statement will apply the first SunSense monthly credit. The bill insert will track and display any excess solar energy production for net-metering purposes.Your rebate check will be mailed in 8-10 weeks to the mailing address listed on your SunSense Application. The approved AC-rated capacity of your PV system is 3.33 kW AC; your rebate check will be in the amount of $3,330.
If you move, or if your PV system becomes inactive during the 5-year commitment period, please contact us at DEPhomesolar at duke-energy dot com for information regarding termination fees or program transfer to the new homeowner.
A copy of this letter will be mailed under separate cover.
We appreciate your participation and dedication to the expansion of renewable energy in North Carolina. We hope you enjoy generating solar energy and bill credits!
