The length of my Agreement is 12 months
The term of my Agreement begins the day I start earning Bill Credits on my Xcel Energy® bill. My one-year subscription will auto-renew each year unless I provide notice to SunShare at least 30 days prior to the renewal date.
I will receive two bills
Once my community solar garden is active, I’ll receive two bills every month – one from SunShare and one from Xcel Energy. My Xcel Energy bill will be reduced to reflect the solar credits generated by my SunShare subscription, and my SunShare bill will reflect the cost of the solar energy generated by my subscription that month. I will always receive Bill Credits on my Xcel Energy account before paying SunShare for that same production.
My subscription rate will be defined at the beginning of the Term
The rate I pay SunShare will always be one-half penny ($0.005) per kWh above the Bill Credit rate that I receive from Xcel Energy. The net difference between my two bills will be just a few dollars per month.
I have cancellation options
If I wish to cancel my subscription, I must provide at least 30 days’ notice before the end of each subscription year; otherwise, my subscription will auto-renew for an additional year. I can also cancel any time if I move out of Xcel Energy service territory or no longer receive a utility bill.
The length of my agreement is 20 years
The Term of my Agreement begins the day I start earning Bill Credits on my Xcel Energy® bill and will end 20 years after the garden’s Commercial Operation Date. I’ll receive Bill Credits from Xcel Energy on my utility bill for this duration of time, for as long as I’m a valid SunShare subscriber.
