There are two methods to billing, depending on your utility. Some utilities have adopted consolidated billing, which means your credits and discounts are applied directly to your utility bill and appear as a line item. You will pay the utility bill and receive your savings at the same time.
Some utilities have not yet implemented consolidated billing. In this case, you will receive two bills. On your regular utility bill, you will see the full amount of your credits applied to your energy costs to offset your share of the project. Typically, the credits have been allocated to offset 100% of your bill. The second bill comes from OYA Renewables, and this one includes payment for your credits plus the 10% savings on bill credits.
The process for subscribing to community solar is relatively the same for businesses, organizations, and residents. Where complexity comes in depends on the decision-making structure in your organization. For most households, the decision is relatively easy – the cancellation terms are friendly, and the benefits come at no cost. For businesses and other organizations, the financial benefits of community solar and its lowered risk should be an easy sell to decision-makers.
