Who Can Sign Up for Just Energy’s Solar Advantage Plan?
The Solar Advantage Plan is designed specifically for Texas homeowners looking to optimize their home solar setup. If your primary residence is located within a deregulated Texas market, you have solar panels, and you want to maximize the utility of your solar array, this fixed-rate plan is a great fit.
To ensure your home qualifies for the 6¢/kWh solar Buyback Energy Credits under this plan, you must meet the following baseline requirements:
A Registered Solar Profile
Your home must have a fully executed Interconnection Agreement in place with your local Transmission and Distribution Service Provider (TDSP) and an official load profile with a “PV” designation.
The Right Metering Setup
You must have a TDSP-installed bi-directional meter that accurately and separately measures both the inflow and outflow of electricity to and from your home.
System Capacity Limits
Your grid-connected renewable generation equipment must have a maximum capacity of 25 kilowatts (kW) or less.
Who Is Not Eligible for This Plan?
As a dedicated, automatic generation credit structure, this plan can’t be combined with other parallel offers. If you’re currently participating in Just Energy’s Excess Generation Buy Back Program and enroll in the Solar Advantage plan, credits from these two don’t stack, which means you cannot earn new credits from both at the same time, but any unused credit already earned under either will continue to be applied to your active Just Energy account. Signing up for the Solar Advantage plan means you no longer be on the Excess Generation Buy Back Program.
Additionally, this plan is tailored for traditional solar generation and is not applicable to commercial properties or homes with out-of-market distributed generation systems.
