How it works
A visual explanation of the contract, the physical energy flows and the money.
The contract
UtCS designs, funds and manages an eligible grid-connected PV-and-inverter system. You pay the charges in your performance-based agreement — there is no upfront installation payment in the standard offer.
The physical flows
Daytime solar is used immediately or exported. Evening and night demand is physically supplied by CEB. Export credits are an accounting mechanism; CEB does not physically store your solar electricity.
The money
Your combined cost is the remaining CEB amount plus UtCS charges. UtCS solar units are priced 30% below the defined, applicable CEB energy-unit reference rate.
