Solar Panel FAQs

  • What are the benefits of signing up for solar?

    • Cost Savings: Signing up for solar energy offers guaranteed cost savings by harnessing sunlight to generate electricity, reducing reliance on traditional grid power and lowering electricity bills.
    • Environmental Impact: Solar energy has a positive environmental impact by producing no greenhouse gas emissions or air pollutants which minimize environmental damage.
    • Reduced Carbon Footprint: Solar power allows individuals to reduce their carbon footprint by transitioning away from fossil fuels, helping to create a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable energy future.

  • How to read your solar bill?

    • Ivy Energy will provide one electric bill for each participant in the program. The bill will include one amount for your total electricity usage. Additional details such as trends in usage, time of usage, and how to increase your solar usage versus the public energy grid will also be included in your monthly bill. 
    • Our partner, Ivy Energy, can be contacted regarding any questions on your bill.

  • How is solar energy created?

    • Sunlight hits a solar panel, making an electric charge.
    • Equipment called inverters converts this charge from DC to AC electricity.
    • That AC electricity flows through your electrical panel providing power just like grid energy.
    • Any extra solar energy that isn’t used right away is saved in batteries or sent to the grid, where they earn solar credits.

  • How is my solar energy bill calculated?

    • Your solar energy bill is calculated by first determining the gross utility cost (without solar) based on total kilowatt-hours consumed and the actual utility rate tariff that would have been used. Then, based on your unique time-of-use intervals and the community's real time solar availability intervals, solar savings are applied to the solar energy bill using a percentage discount off of the portion of energy you used that was virtually allocated from the solar system to you, either in the form of Live Solar or Solar Credit.

  • Do my usage habits make a difference on my bill?

    • Yes! While your solar energy bill is always guaranteed to be less than what you would have paid without solar, solar energy is the most valuable when it is used right away. Therefore, the more you can take advantage of Live Solar availability times the more optimal your savings can be. The highest availability of Live Solar is usually between 10am - 3pm however this can vary by season or weather. If it’s sunny outside and the sun is high in the sky it’s safe to assume there is Live Solar availability and you can capitalize on this by running your dish washer, clothes washer, charging your car or other electronics, and cooking or doing meal prep!

  • Your solar energy bill consists of 3 categories of energy:

    • Live Solar: This is the amount of energy produced by the onsite solar system that was directly applied to your usage. If all of your usage came directly when solar was available you would be saving the maximum amount possible.
    • Solar Credit: Because solar energy isn’t available all the time, when there is a surplus amount during the day it is provided to the utility company and credited back to the property to be used at non-solar times. These Solar Credits also provide you savings however they are slightly less valuable than Live Solar.
    • The Grid: This is the extra energy required that was not offset by any Live Solar or Solar Credits such as energy used at night.

  • How will I know if I’m actually saving any money?

    • Your monthly electric bills will compare your previous electricity bills to your new bills with the solar savings included. This will show exactly how much you have saved by opting into the solar program.  

  • What do I have to do to sign up?

    • Signing up is easy! Just fill out the sign-up form we provide, which includes basic information and your consent to switch to solar energy. Our partner, Ivy Energy, will handle all the technical aspects, and you’ll start seeing savings on your electricity bill.

  • What happens if I don’t sign up?

    • There’s no obligation to sign up. If you choose not to participate, your electricity service will continue as usual but you will miss out on savings every month.

  • Is there any cost to me for joining the solar program?

    • No, there are no costs or hidden fees for joining the solar program. We handle the installation and maintenance while you just benefit from the reduced energy costs

  • How long will it take before I start seeing savings?

    • We plan to have our solar panels and equipment installed and live in August 2024. Participants can expect to see savings in the month immediately following the installation date.
