Net Meter Application Submittal

This application is being submitted by the Columbia REA Member below.

Billing and member information

Billing. I understand that even though I am installing an electrical production system, I will still have monthly bills due and payable for facilities charges and any demand fees, as credits from the production (Solar) system does not pay for these, under any circumstance. Other future billing charges may apply as well. If my system produces less than I use I will also have billings for meter usage as well. Please call us before continuing further if you have questions or concerns at (509) 526-4041. Columbia REA is compliant with the Net-Metering regulations in Washington State RCW 80.60 .

A revenue class production meter is different than the utility Net-Meter and is provided and installed by your contractor. This extra meter is required if you are an approved applicant of a WA state (WSU) incentive program. Those programs are not funded currently for new applicants and may or may not be applicable in the future. We can approve your installation without the production meter, but only if you understand that if a new incentive program comes out, requiring an AC production meter, then it is something you as the homeowner would have installed at your expense. Also, this production meter shows true solar AC production, after DC conversion losses, and this data could be helpful to you.

This system will have an AC Production Meter installed?

By submitting, I confirm I am the Columbia REA Member, and I understand the above application. I understand Columbia REA will respond with an email to the email listed on my account, that I will respond to, to confirm I am the applicant. After payment of the application fee, Columbia REA will review, generally in a week or less, and may provide approval or reasons for not approving. I understand that after approval and thereafter installation, the electrical production system must not be started up, AC disconnect flipped on, (connected to grid), until the Net-Meter has been tested, and installed by Columbia REA. Columbia REA is not responsible for any resulting issues, including invalid meter billings if turned on otherwise.
