What is Time-of-Use Metering and How Does it Affect My Electric Bill?
========================================================================
Did you know that a little time management can create additional cash flow from your
solar energy system? By generating your own clean energy with solar, you already
save on your electric bills, but you can actually increase the power of those savings.
Here's how it works.
• Time-of-Use Metering. With time-of-use metering, your electric rates are determined
by the time of day that electricity is consumed. Electricity used during peak hours, on
summer weekday afternoons, costs significantly more than usage at night or in the mornings.
Your solar power system is actually at its best during peak hours, generating most of
your electricity during this time.
If you generate more than you use during the afternoon, the electricity you put on the
grid is valued at a higher price than electricity you consume in the late evening or
early morning.
With a properly-sized solar system you can sell high and buy low by moving as much
power consumption as possible to off-peak hours.
A few simple changes can make a big difference, including: re-timing your pool pump,
using programmable thermostats for air conditioning, doing laundry at night or on
weekends, turning on your dish washer at night when you go to bed, or just turning
off the tv when you are not watching it.
How much will you save?
When time-of-use metering is coupled with net metering, you can offset three hours
of winter power usage with one hour's summer production.
A Solar Technologies design consultant will advise you on whether a time-of-use rate
schedule is right for you.
