Did you move or move to a property where solar panels are installed? Are you planning to move to a property where solar panels are installed? Or are you selling a property with solar panels installed? If so, the Solar*Rewards or Net Metering contract must be transferred to the new owner to receive the benefits of the solar generation. Depending on your situation, please review and follow the steps below, so your paperwork can be processed correctly.

Turn off your lights when you leave the room—even if you'll only be gone for a moment. Contemporary light bulbs require very little energy to turn "on."
Always call 811 before digging in your yard to avoid hitting buried gas or electric lines. Not only is it the safe thing to do, but it's the law.
