How solar changes the math on a EPCOR bill

At 18.3¢/kWh blended, every kWh you self-generate with solar avoids that cost. A right-sized system for a 670-kWh/month EPCOR customer saves roughly $1,500–$2,000/year. Payback lands at 6–9 years, depending on your specific roof and whether you take available provincial rebates.

Net metering treatment: 11.20¢/kWh export credit. Credits typically roll over 12 months and expire — size your system to annual consumption to avoid lost credits.
