This feature allows you to enjoy similar benefits as members who have installed their own solar panels without the long-term investment and liability of rooftop solar.

Pricing and Energy Output – The monthly charge for each 1 kW solar energy block is $19.50.  Each block should generate between 136 and 237-kilowatt hours of energy per month based on several variables such as the sun’s position, the season of the year, the number of cloudy days, and other factors.

Billing – For $19.50 per month for each solar block, members will receive credit on their monthly bill for the kilowatt-hours generated by the block(s).  If fewer kilowatt-hours are used during the billing period than the amounts generated by the solar energy block(s), a credit will be given for the excess energy per Jefferson Energy’s Net Metering Scheduling.

All residential JEC members qualify for the Cooperative Solar Program.  Even if you are a renter and cannot install solar panels yourself, the program enables you to access solar energy, support the growth of solar, and utilize renewable energy for your energy usage.
