California's net metering law provides that all utilities must allow customers with solar electric systems rated up to 1.5 MW to interconnect with the local utility grid and receive retail value for the electricity produced. The owner of a grid-connected solar electric system may buy and sell electricity each month under the Time-of-Use program. Southern California Edison's Time-of-Use program is designed to encourage customers to reduce electricity use by charging higher rates during peak hours. This is a great advantage for business solar electric system owners. This Time of Use billing method effectively improves the economics of your solar power electric system by a factor of 15% to 40% by supplying power to your business during peak electrical demand hours and replacing the highest tier electric rates.

We design the solar electric system for your business and reserve the California Solar Incentive rebate incentive for the system. We handle the solar electric building permit and file the utility interconnection agreement for your system. We carry the California CSI solar electric incentive rebate for you, thereby reducing your out-of-pocket costs for your business.
