How to Use This Calculator

Enter your monthly solar generation in kWh.

Set your utility's retail rate and net metering credit rate.
Review the net energy metered (exported) and the monthly credit or bill reduction.
Check whether your utility uses full retail net metering or a lower avoided-cost rate for exports.

How the result changes with Monthly Consumption

Monthly Solar Production: Your solar system's average monthly energy production.
Monthly Consumption: Your average monthly electricity consumption.
Retail Rate: Your utility's retail electricity rate.
Export Credit Rate: Rate your utility pays for exported solar energy.
Monthly Fixed Charge: Fixed monthly charge from your utility regardless of usage.
