Solar Billing Plan (SBP)

• • CARE/FERA Solar Credit of $0.05/kwh for all income qualified customers
  • MCE Solar Storage Credit for all customers who have a battery and enroll in the program, $10 per month for systems less than 20 kWh and $20 for systems greater than 20 kWh

MCE’s Annual Cash-out

At the end of the annual cash-out period each spring, if you’ve produced more electricity than you’ve used, you’ll be eligible for a cash-out payment based on your surplus electricity. 

• Cash-out payments are valued at the net surplus compensation rate, or the average wholesale rate during solar generating hours over the past 12 months.
• Active accounts with eligible balances over $200 will automatically receive a check at the mailing address they have on record (subject to a maximum of $5,000 per account).
• Eligible balances of $200 or less will receive a bill credit on a subsequent bill.
• If you have any excess Energy Export Credits remaining at the time of cash-out, they will roll over to the next cycle for use in future billing cycles.
