How Solar Helps Lower Hydro One Bills
- Offset Peak Usage: Solar panels generate the most energy during on-peak hours, cutting costly grid electricity usage.
- Net Metering: Send excess solar power back to the grid and earn bill credits to reduce costs further.
- Lower Delivery Charges: Reduced grid dependency means lower delivery fees.
- Energy Storage: Pair solar with batteries to store power for use during high-rate or overnight periods.
