With the Netting Incentive, you'll first supply power from the system to your home and only export excess power to the electric grid.

If you choose this option:
- Power produced by your system, but not consumed within the month, is "netted" at the same rate you pay Eversource for electricity
- Net credits are applied to your bill in dollars and will be used to offset future customer, supply and delivery charges
- Any excess credits can be carried over each month and cashed out if you stop electric service
- Once enrolled, your compensation rate (in dollars per kilowatt hour) for net production will fluctuate with the prevailing retail rate over a 20-year term
Current incentive rate
The netting incentive rate is the current retail rate + a quarterly Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) payment of $0.0318 per kWh. This rate is set by the state and remains the same for 20 years.
What are Renewable Energy Certificates?
A REC is generated for each megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity that your system generates regardless of whether you use the energy or it is exported to the electric grid.
Meter setup
With the Netting Incentive, you’ll receive a new meter that measures how much energy you consume and how much is exported to the grid. You'll also receive a second meter to measure the energy produced by your solar installation.
