Frequently Asked Questions

Flipping the Switch: FAQs on Changing Your Solar Energy Provider

How do I become a Solar Club Member?2024-03-27T12:30:43-06:00

Easy! Simply apply for a Solar Club rate through one of our Community Retailers.

Not ready yet? Simply apply for one of our variable or fixed rates and then switch to a Solar Club rate once your system has been activated.

What is the High (HI) rate for? What is the Low (LO) rate for?2024-04-10T13:23:07-06:00

The HI Export Rate is designed for micro-generators who are generating more energy than they are using. This is typically used during the summer months (March to October).

The LO Export Rate is designed for micro-generators who are using more energy than they are generating. This is typically used during the winter months (November to February).

When should I switch between rates, and how do I switch rates?2024-04-10T13:23:29-06:00

Switching rates usually depends on your generation/usage patterns, but most micro-generators switch from LO to HI in March and from HI to LO in October. We send out reminder emails in March and October as well. Contact our Customer Care team if you need help figuring out when to switch.

You can choose an effective date that is as far back as your last meter read date.

Can I really choose a switch date that has occurred in the past?2024-04-10T13:22:41-06:00

Yes, you can! You can switch rates as far back as your last billing cycle, so be sure to take advantage of this time-travelling superpower and use it to maximize the days when your solar panels were capturing the most sunshine!

How often can I switch?2024-03-27T12:35:39-06:00

You can switch once per billing cycle, penalty-free, to accommodate seasonal electricity generation fluctuations.
