Does net metering with City of Tallahassee give me a cheaper electricity rate?

No. Net metering is a billing arrangement, not a rate plan. Energy your system sends to the grid is credited against energy you draw from it. The price you pay per kilowatt-hour does not change because you have solar. Anyone describing it as a cheaper rate is describing it wrong.

Will I still get a bill from City of Tallahassee?

Most solar customers continue to receive a utility bill. What it contains depends on your usage, system design, interconnection, applicable rates, and program rules. Your account stays connected to the grid unless the system is designed otherwise.

How long does City of Tallahassee interconnection take?

Timing is controlled by the utility, not by the installer or by Nova Structa. It depends on the application, inspections, and the utility's own queue, and it varies.

Are lease or financing options available in City of Tallahassee territory?

Lease availability in municipal utility territory depends on program economics and provider criteria, and is confirmed during the assessment rather than assumed.

Can City of Tallahassee change its solar rules?

Yes. Rates, net-metering terms, interconnection requirements, and program rules are set by the utility and, for investor-owned utilities, by state regulators. They can change, which is one reason no savings figure can be guaranteed.

Savings and utility-bill examples shown are illustrative only, are not guaranteed, and may not reflect typical results. Actual savings depend on your energy usage, system size, roof and site conditions, financing terms, utility rates, net-metering rules, and other factors specific to your home.
