Questions
NB Power and solar: FAQ
- Can NB Power customers get credit for solar power they send to the grid?
- NB Power net metering: credits reset every March 31. Each kWh you export offsets a kWh you buy later. See the New Brunswick page for the full rules.
- How much could solar save on a NB Power bill?
- In our model, a sample Moncton home with a $180 monthly bill on the Residential plan saves about $1,828 in the first year with a 10.8 kW system, paying back in 15.5 years. Your roof and usage will change the result.
- Do I need NB Power's permission to install solar?
- Yes. Your installer applies to connect the system to the grid, and an electrical inspection is required before it is switched on. The utility may change your meter.
