Utility information found on our proposals come from research done by our Utility Research team. Utilities already listed in Solo are reviewed regularly with our most popular utilities being updated semiannually or even quarterly in some cases, and new utilities are being added constantly. Utility pricing updates are gathered from the specific utility company’s website and/or by phone, talking with solar representatives from the Utility.

If you believe the rates are not current, please contact utility research via utilityresearch@gosolo.io to request verification of rates, NEM, etc.
