Rhythm’s distributed renewable generation buyback program incentivizes customers with solar panels.
Solar panels provide a way for customers to produce their own energy and sell their excess electricity back to the grid through net metering. This is commonly referred to as a solar buyback.
For Rhythm's Solar Buyback Plans, Rhythm will look at how much electricity the customer used (electricity for which the customer pays Rhythm), and then deduct the credit for surplus generation (electricity for which Rhythm credits the customer). Our solar buyback plan credits have no cash value and can only be redeemed for Rhythm bill credits, but can be rolled over each month.
The export rate for the solar buyback credits will be different than your energy rate, but these credits can be used toward electric bills, the base charge, TDSP charges, and taxes. They can’t be used toward non-commodity charges.
Solar Buyback Credits can only be used for Energy Charges for the meter that they were received on.
