Solar Generation

Maximize your savings from solar generation. With ComEd’s Hourly Pricing and solar energy, you could spend less money on your monthly energy bills and more on what matters most to you, like saving up for a rainy day.

Solar + Hourly Pricing Can Help You Save

ComEd’s Hourly Pricing is an electric supply rate that lets you pay for electricity at the hourly market price. By shifting some of your energy use to lower-priced hours, you could save money on your monthly bills.

Homes with on-site solar panels participate in Net Metering through ComEd. And Net Metering customers have a unique opportunity to save with Hourly Pricing.

Homeowners with solar installations can increase their savings with Hourly Pricing.

  • On sunny days—when hourly market prices tend to be high—your solar panels can produce more electricity than you use.
  • When this happens, you earn net metering credits, which are calculated at the time they were generated.
  • So when the hourly market price is higher, like during a hot sunny day, your credits have a higher value.
  • Credits are applied to your bill and can help lower your monthly energy cost.
  • When credits exceed the cost of your bill, they’re applied to the following billing cycle for a lower future bill!

What Is Net Metering?

If you are not powering your home with ComEd’s Net Metering program, here’s what you need to know!

Net Metering provides customers with credits for the excess energy they generate from a solar system. This excess energy flows into the electric grid.

If the credits exceed the cost of your bill, they’re applied to the following billing cycle to save you money in the future.

What is Community Solar?

Some roofs aren’t ideal for a private solar energy system. With a community solar subscription, renters and homeowners can access the benefits of solar energy without installing solar panels at home. Residents subscribe to a community solar project and receive credits on their ComEd bill for energy generated by the solar project.

When community solar subscribers enroll in Hourly Pricing, they can save by shifting their energy use to lower-priced hours.
