A properly sized solar system can reduce your monthly electric bill by 70–100%. Most homeowners size their system to cover 80–100% of their usage. The remaining bill is typically just the utility's fixed monthly connection fee, which ranges from $5–$20 depending on your provider.
Net metering is a billing policy where your utility credits you for excess solar power you send to the grid. With full retail net metering, every kWh you export is worth the same as every kWh you import — maximizing your bill reduction. Some utilities offer partial credit or avoid-cost rates, which reduce the benefit. Always check your utility's net metering policy before going solar.
Technically yes — but most homeowners still pay a small monthly fixed charge to remain connected to the grid. This fee, typically $5–$20/month, covers the utility's infrastructure costs and usually cannot be eliminated by solar production. Think of it as a connection fee rather than a usage charge.
