The Renewable Rewards Essential plan allows homeowners with rooftop solar panels to sell excess electricity back to the grid and receive credits on their energy bill, up to their monthly energy usage from the grid.
Congratulations! By signing up for the Renewable Rewards Essential plan, you’re living greener and helping the planet by choosing clean electricity to power your home. Now it’s time to reap the benefits of your eco-friendly choices.
Excess Energy: Any excess energy beyond your monthly usage is sent to the grid for others to use, but credits are capped at your grid usage each billing period.
For example: If you use 800 kWh from the grid and send 900 kWh to the grid, you’ll get bill credits for 800 kWh—matching what you used. The extra 100 kWh will be sent to the grid for others to use, but you won’t receive additional credits for it.

Homeowners with a rooftop residential solar panel system installed on their home who want to sell their excess electricity back to the grid.
When your solar panels produce more electricity than you use, the extra energy is sent to the grid. You'll receive a credit for this energy, but only up to the amount of energy you consume from the grid in a billing cycle. Delivery charges, base charges, taxes, and other fees are NOT included in the credit.
Yes. Credits are limited to the amount of energy you consume from the grid during the billing cycle. Energy sent beyond your monthly usage will not earn additional credits.
Your excess energy credits will appear on the second page of your electricity bill under the “Green Mountain Energy Renewable Rewards Credit” line.
The bill credit rate matches the energy charge rate of your plan. It does not include delivery charges, base charges, taxes, or other fees. Credits are applied up to your grid energy usage for the billing cycle.
Yes, standard charges such as delivery charges, monthly base charges, taxes, and other applicable fees are not covered by the credits and will still apply to your bill.
If your energy consumption from the grid exceeds the credits you’ve earned, you’ll pay the standard energy charge rate for the additional energy.
No, the plan does not allow for a zero-dollar or negative bill because credits are capped at your grid usage and do not apply to non-energy charges like delivery fees or taxes.
