How solar changes the math on a Alectra bill

At 12.6¢/kWh blended, every kWh you self-generate with solar avoids that cost. A right-sized system for a 820-kWh/month Alectra customer saves roughly $1,900–$2,500/year. Payback lands at 9–12 years, depending on your specific roof and whether you take available provincial rebates.

Net metering treatment: credits at full retail rate (1:1 bi-directional metering). Credits typically roll over 12 months and expire — size your system to annual consumption to avoid lost credits.
