Frequently Asked Questions

Understanding the Relationship Between Solar Garden Operators and Utility Companies

Q: What do Solar Garden Operators and Utility Companies do? A: Solar garden operators, like Pivot Energy, develop and manage community solar projects known as solar gardens. These operators handle the installation, maintenance, and management of the solar arrays. Utility companies, such as Xcel Energy, partner with these operators to distribute the generated solar power to subscribers.

Q: How does it work?

  1. Solar Garden Generation: The solar garden operator generates solar power and feeds it into the utility grid.

  2. Subscription: Customers (like you) subscribe to a portion of the solar garden's output through the operator.

  3. Energy Credits: The utility company tracks the amount of solar power generated by your share of the solar garden and applies corresponding energy credits to your utility bill.

Virtual Net Metering (VNM)

Q: What is Virtual Net Metering (VNM)? A: Virtual Net Metering allows customers to receive credits on their utility bills for the electricity generated by their share of a community solar garden. Unlike traditional net metering, where the solar system is installed on your property, VNM credits your account based on your subscription to a remotely located solar garden.

Q: How does VNM work?

  1. Energy Production: The solar garden generates electricity, which is measured and recorded by the utility company.

  2. Credit Allocation: The utility company allocates credits based on the amount of electricity produced by your share of the solar garden.

  3. Bill Credits: These credits appear as reductions on your monthly utility bill, offsetting your electricity usage and lowering your overall cost.

Tracking and Documenting Discounts

Q: How are energy credits and bill reductions tracked on my monthly utility bill?

  1. Energy Credits: Each month, your utility bill will show the amount of energy your share of the solar garden produced.

  2. Bill Reduction: The corresponding credit will be deducted from your total electricity charges, reducing your bill.

Q: How is this information documented?

  1. Detailed Statements: You will receive detailed statements from both the solar garden operator and the utility company. These statements will document the amount of energy produced, credits earned, and the resulting savings on your bill.

  2. Online Account Access: Most utility companies offer online portals where you can track your energy usage, production, and credits in real-time.
