Contact your utility for current net billing enrollment status.

Net metering / billing
Net Metering (1:1 retail + CBC)

New York credits exported solar at the full retail rate under net metering, with monthly rollover and terms locked for 20 years from interconnection. New solar customers also pay a monthly Customer Benefit Contribution based on system size — set annually per utility, roughly $1–$1.70 per kW of panels per month in 2026 — which this estimate subtracts from savings.

Estimates use the average New York current utility rate (before solar) of $0.30/kWh (EIA, retrieved Aug 2026) and modeled solar production; individual results vary with your rate, usage, roof orientation, and shading.
