Can I sell excess power generated from my rooftop solar panels back to the City?

Yes.  Credit for excess generation, as defined in the Interconnection Standards (PDF), from an approved Customer generation facility shall be at the Utility’s avoided power supply cost rate as determined by the Board of Public Utilities.  The credit for excess generation shall be in the form of a monthly credit to the Customer’s utility account. The current rate for the credit can be found in the Electric Rate Schedule (PDF). The City will typically utilize a bi-directional meter to measure the flow of electricity in both directions. The kilowatts per hour that the customer delivers to the City will be used to calculate the credit.
