Solar, just in time.

In January of 2022, our electric bill was $51.34, and we paid 23.659 cents/kWh (supply plus delivery). At the time we had locked in our rate of 7.590 cents/kWh for supply with a third party provider. However, in order to take full advantage of net metering in NH, you are required to utilize Eversource as your energy provider. As of August 1st, the supply charge for electricity in NH for Eversource customers went up to 22.566 cents/kWh, a 112% increase. However, as a net energy producer (our production exceeds our usage over the course of each billing period), this means there is a greater opportunity to offset the default Customer Charge ($13.81 for Rate R Residential Service). With supply and delivery combined, NH Eversource customers are looking at a price of approximately 31.304 cents/kWh until January 31, 2023, when it may change again. The cost of natural gas has been cited as the reason for this increase. We used 603 Solar for our solar install and had a great experience with them. They have a active duty military credit and a referral credit we were able to earn for some family members who told us about their great experience with 603 Solar.
