Net Metering

Where You Are At In Your Project

Upon completing an inspection of your system we will now inform your power utility that we are ready for them to set up net metering of your system.  They will go through their procedures to ensure that you are able to rack up credits on your energy bill as your system produces excess power.  This may involve the power company installing a new electrical meter on your home.

What You Need To Know About This Stage

This part of the solar project often demands a lot of patience, as it may take up to 8 weeks.  Similar to acquiring permits, we are unfortunately at the mercy of the power company through this process.  This is as frustrating for us as it is for you.  You are still protected by our On Time, On Budget Guarantee!

FAQ's

Most Asked Questions During This Stage.

How long will my project take?

Great Question!  We guarantee that your system will be operational within 120 days following your site survey, 150 days for MidAmerican, Alliant and Holy Cross customers.  If we are not able to make our deadline, we will take care of your monthly solar payments for you!

 

How long until this stage is complete?

Scheduling an inspector can take up to 2 weeks.  An inspection takes less than an hour.  Although we have a very high pass rate on our inspections, there may be a list of corrections we need to make.  The inspection acts as an independent check to ensure your system meets local building codes and ordinances.

Why would Skyline not pass an inspection?

Here at Skyline, we work in a variety of cities and counties and within each of those areas our solar projects are checked by several inspectors.  Each factor of different areas and inspectors add a level and complexity and nuance to codes and ordinances with differing interpretations.
