Five Common Questions About ECE Community Solar


ast Central Electric is hearing great feedback from members on the ECE Community Solar


Project. Co-op members support the move toward renewable energy and want to know more about the project.


For your convenience, we've included common questions and answers, below:


Is the $350 a one time fee?


Yes, the fee to subscribe is $350 per solar panel. This is a one- time fee and is the only cost involved for participating in ECE's Community Solar program.


How long is my subscription good for?


As a Community Solar subscriber, your subscription will last until September 2041 or until the license is terminated by the member.


What happens if I move?


If you move to another home on ECE lines, your subscription will transfer to your new address. If your new home is located elsewhere, ECE will buy back your solar panels for the


same price you paid, $350 per panel, less four percent depreciation each year.


How much credit will I get per panel?


Participating members receive a percentage of the total solar array production each month based on their contribution to the project. Each month, the total kilowatt-hour (kwh) output of the solar system is divided by the number of panels.


A credit amount per kwh is determined each year and applied to your monthly kwh output. The first year credit is $.034 per kwh.


A separate line on the participant’s electric bill will reflect the credit multiplied by your share of the total solar system production for that month.


If any damage occurs to the panels, will I be charged for the repairs?


No, all repairs and maintenance are covered by your electric co-op. ECE Community Solar subscribers enjoy the benefits of solar power without worrying about damages, malfunction or repairs.

Avoid setting your thermostat at a colder setting than normal when you turn on your air conditioner. It will not cool your home any faster and could result in excessive cooling and unnecessary expense. source: energy.gov

If you're considering installing rooftop panels on your home, community solar could save you some money. How?


• ECE's Community Solar Project eliminates certain costs associated with going solar. For example, when you opt for shared solar you eliminate the need for an expensive site assessment, which is necessary if you install your own solar generating system.


• Community solar allows you to separate your energy assets from your home. If you move, your solar shares can be transferred separately from your residence to a new home within ECE territory or sold to another member.


• No maintenance costs. ECE Community Solar subscribers never have to worry about maintenance or repair costs. This is covered by the co-op.
