Rhythm will look at how much electricity the customer used (electricity for which the customer pays Rhythm), and then deduct the credit for surplus generation (electricity for which Rhythm credits the customer). Our solar buyback program credits have no cash value and can only be redeemed for Rhythm bill credits on the meter they were generated on, but can be rolled over each month. The export rate for the solar buyback credits will be at a different rate than your energy rate, and these credits can be used toward your energy rate only. They can’t be used toward non-commodity charges.

No, any early termination fee associated with leaving your previous provider is not covered for customers signing up for our solar buyback program. However, if you have a new solar installation at your home, your solar installer usually reimburses any early termination fees associated with changing your energy provider. So, we always recommend checking with them.

No, but you can earn reward bill credits if you refer a friend to a non-Solar Buyback Plan.​

Please note: Referred customer must enroll in a non-Solar Buyback Plan of 12 months or longer.
