OUC's Pilot Solar
Programs OUC has launched two environmentally friendly solar programs: A Solar Photovoltaic (PV) program which generates electricity and a Solar Thermal program which generates heat for domestic water heating systems. How the programs work The customer installs a Solar PV, Solar Thermal or both systems on his or her home, and signs an agreement allowing OUC to retain the rights to the environmental benefits or attributes. In exchange, OUC will provide a monthly production credit on the customer's utility bill for the energy the systems produce. Any excess electricity generated by the PV systems back to OUC’s electric grid will be credited at the full applicable standard retail rate. The Solar PV systems will be metered in kilowatt-hours (kwh). The Solar Thermal systems will be metered in British Thermal Units (BTU’s) and converted to kwh. For reference, an average 2 kilowatt solar PV system and a typical residential solar thermal system will each produce about 2,800 kilowatt-hours a year. The customer not only saves on his normal electric consumption but also receives a monthly credit for the kwh production of the solar systems. The monthly production credit is $0.03 and $0.05 for each equivalent kwh produced for solar thermal and PV systems respectively. Low interest loans For residential customers, OUC has partnered with Orlando Federal Credit Union to provide low interest loan options for solar installations and help keep the net monthly cost low for our customers. Additionally, there are Florida state rebates and federal tax credits available to help minimize the cost. How do I sign up? Download the Solar Information Packets, which contain a step-by-step customer checklist, loan information for residential customers, state rebate and federal tax credit information, a list of solar contractors, the solar service and interconnection agreements, and the tariff credit riders.
