The Company has net metering tariffs approved by the Commission addressing compensation for excess energy from renewable energy facilities.

Net-metering is available to customers installing state specific eligible energy production facilities throughout the FirstEnergy service territories.  In each state, each kWh of energy received from the customer offsets the energy delivered to the customer on a one for one basis, up to the amount of energy delivered to the customer during a billing period.  Excess energy received from the customer is treated differently in each state.

The Company cannot make this decision.  It’s up to the customer to make this determination.  There are many factors to consider such as the total installed cost of your system including maintenance costs, how much energy it will produce, the value of the energy you won’t have to purchase, how long will the system last and very importantly, the financial costs of the lost earnings on the money you will need to purchase & install the system.  There are several analysis tools available on the internet.  A fairly easy to use one can be accessed at the following website: http://chuck-wright.com/calculators/pv.html*.
