Benchmarking Solar Customers
LELWD is looking to benchmark solar adoption across residential customers. The goal is to measure where we stand across the state in residential solar adoption. Of course, there are a million things impacting a residents decision to go solar but we hope to see if we need to improve and update our interconnection policies to keep up and encourage adoption.
With that, anyone who is willing to share their solar customer count would be appreciated! It will be helpful to know- (LELD)
Number of single-family homes in service territory (assessor’s office reports this to department of revenue- code 101)(4,318)
Number of residential solar customers (97)
Offering a solar rebate? (Yes $1/Watt)
Side note- if your utility participates in APPA's designation in Smart Energy Provider, this could count for the benchmarking question I.A.4.
