Harnessing the Power of the Sun
Net Metering
The Co-op supports our members who choose to install renewable generation at their home or business. During certain hours, your photovoltaic (PV) system may generate more electricity than you can use. Through net metering members are compensated for this surplus generation that is exported to the Co-op’s distribution system.
As a member-owned, non-profit, cooperative, the Co-op’s net metering rates are based on the savings that all members realize through the purchase of this electricity. Please reference NHEC’s Terms and Conditions Section X – Net Metering and Schedule of Rates and Fees for more information regarding our interconnection policies, rates and compensation for exports. We strongly recommend net metering members become familiar with the information contained within these documents.

N02A – The amount of electricity that your PV system exported to NHEC’s distribution system
PVN – This is the total amount of electricity generated by your PV system
