Solar Energy and Net Metering

Installing rooftop solar can lower the electricity portion of your utility bill


Anaheim Public Utilities has supported more than 3,500 customers installing solar since the early 2000s.These residential and commercial systems total almost 35 megawatts (MW) of clean renewable energy, producing more than 50,000,000 kilowatt hours (kWh) annually, which equates to a reduction of 35,000 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually. 
Installing rooftop solar at your home lower the electricity portion of your utility bill. You are compensated for electricity that you export to the grid. Net Energy Metering (NEM) policies set terms for this compensation. We currently have retail net metering (NEM 1.0) available for all new solar PV systems installed and signed off by Building and Safety on December 31, 2020 or prior. Starting January 1, 2021, we will only have NEM 2.0 available for all new systems installed or new account holders on existing solar. 

Learn more about the new NEM 2.0 program and customers grandfathered under NEM 1.0 below.
