Rooftop solar on this system
111 residential customers had net-metered solar in 2024, totalling 0.8 megawatts. That works out to 5.2 installations per thousand customers, against a median of 8 across the utilities reporting it.
Adoption is below the national median. A low retail rate reduces what solar displaces, and export compensation set at avoided cost rather than the retail rate reduces it further. What exports are actually worth.
