SYSTEM SIZE JUSTIFICATION

Taunton requires systems be sized below 60 kW. There is no hard limit on offset, but staff asks not to overdo it substantially or they may reject the application. "You can future build but not so much that it raises a red flag."

MONTHLY NET METERING CREDIT

Each month, production exported to the grid is netted on a 1:1 basis against total monthly consumption. Any excess production above what was consumed that month (monthly rollover) will only be credited at the Generation Rate ~5.1 cents/kWh
