Does net metering with JEA 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 JEA?

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 JEA 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 JEA territory?

Third-party lease structures generally do not work in JEA territory because the program economics do not support them. Purchase and loan structures are reviewed instead, subject to provider approval.

Can JEA 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.

What JEA controls

Jacksonville and parts of Duval, Clay, St. Johns and Nassau County.

JEA is a municipal utility, not an investor-owned one, so its solar program rules are set locally rather than by the Florida Public Service Commission.
Municipal utility rules differ meaningfully from FPL and Duke, and those differences affect which financing structures are workable rather than just the paperwork.
Interconnection, billing treatment and any solar program terms are set by JEA and can change.

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.

Financing, where available, is provided by third-party financing providers and is subject to credit approval. Rates, terms, fees, monthly payments, total cost, and any security interest or filing are set out in your financing agreement. “$0 down” describes the initial payment structure only and does not mean the system or services are free.
