City of St. George - Net Metering
Quick Summary
You can install a solar PV system up to 250 kW on your owner-occupied home and use net metering to offset your electricity costs. Excess energy credits roll over monthly and are paid out annually at the Renewable Power Rate at year-end; you'll pay a one-time application fee, a bi-directional meter fee (charged to you), and a monthly solar reliability charge based on your system's output. Apply through the City Inspect online portal and contact St. George Energy Services at 435-627-4800 to review program documents before signing a purchase agreement with a pre-qualified contractor.

Program Summary
Net metering is available to customers that generate electricity using photovoltaic (PV) systems up to 250 kW in capacity. The utility will provide a single, bidirectional meter, paid for by the customer-generator. Credit for net excess generation carries over monthly until the end of the calendar year, at which point the customer will be compensated for the credits at the Renewable Power Rate. The City of St. George has also developed interconnection rules for net-metered systems. Inverter-based, single phase systems up to 10 kW in capacity can qualify for Level 1 interconnection, which features a streamlined review process. Systems greater than 10 kW and up to 250 kW, or smaller systems with a battery, can qualify for Level 2 interconnection.
