Net metering / billing
Net Billing (RCP)

Berkeley Electric Cooperative, the member-owned co-op serving Goose Creek, is not covered by South Carolina's Solar Choice tariffs: exported solar is credited at the co-op's annually set buyback rate (recently ~6¢/kWh, below retail), so self-consumption maximizes value. This estimate uses the co-op's own residential energy rate, which is below the state average.

Estimates use Goose Creek's local utility residential rate of $0.126/kWh (verified August 2026) and modeled solar production; individual results vary with your rate, usage, roof orientation, and shading.
