What are some questions I should be asking if I’m exploring net metering options?

With any major energy decision, especially one that involves a long-term contract, it is a good idea to get as much information as possible before making a decision. When entering into a long-term contract, good questions include the length of the contract, whether rates or payments are level or escalate over the duration of the contract, and what protections exist for you, the buyer, as part of the process.

The Massachusetts Attorney General’s office issued a press release in 2016 advising homeowners considering solar panel installations to be informed.

The New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission provides net metering information on its website, including a Homeowner’s Guide to Solar Financing.
