Photovoltaics (PV) in RNC Program homes

As PV systems become more prevalent in the marketplace we want to remind you the Duke Energy RNC Program policy. 

Homes in the Program are required to be individually metered and billed under a residential rate schedule. Homes that have solar photovoltaics (PV) installed around the time of the build could be master metered, (where multiple units of a multifamily building, townhome, or duplex are all under one meter) and billed as non-residential/commercial account. Builders are responsible for confirming with Duke Energy at the time the account is set up if the address will be residential and individually metered in the homeowner’s name. If raters are aware the home will have PV, it is recommended the builder confirm how the account will be set-up with Duke Energy prior to testing and submitting the home.
