BWP solar net billing
Since January 1, 2026, new BWP solar customers are credited differently for the energy they send to the grid.
Solar systems with permits issued after January 1, 2026 are served under BWP solar net billing. Exported energy is credited at BWP's avoided cost of energy rather than the retail rate.
Eligible earlier customers are grandfathered in BWP's previous net energy metering program — but they are not exempt from rate increases.
Because exports earn less, storing midday solar in a battery and using it in the evening is often the better fit for new Burbank systems.
