If I install rooftop solar, will my electric rate change?

Yes, customers will still be charged per their current retail rate, however Rider E Renewable Parallel Generation of the Electric Rate Schedules (PDF) will also be applicable. Rider E includes a monthly facilities charge that is based on the kilowatt capacity of the solar installation, and battery if applicable.
