First off – congratulations! You’ve officially joined the solar revolution. Your panels are up, the sun is shining, and you’re generating your own electricity. It’s a big step toward energy independence, and we’re excited for you!
But now that your system is live, what happens next? How do you make sure you’re getting the most out of your investment? Let’s walk through some smart next steps to help you maximize your savings and make the most of your solar power.

Join The Solar Club™ and Get Paid for Your Power
Now that your system is up and running, it’s time to put it to work for you. The best way to do that? Join The Solar Club™.
With The Solar Club™, you get premium rates for the extra power you generate – meaning you’re not just saving money, you’re actually earning on the energy you send back to the grid. And right now is the perfect time to sign upbecause we’re heading into high production season. That means longer days, more sunshine, and maximum energy generation – all of which add up to more money in your pocket.

Switching Rates is Easy.
One of the best parts of The Solar Club™ is how flexible it is. You can switch between the High and Low Production Rates once a month, so you’re always on the best plan for your energy needs.
If you’re already a Camrose Energy customer, just log in to your account on our website and adjust your rate whenever you need to. If you’re new to Camrose Energy, signing up is quick and easy at www.camroseenergy.com.

Make Sure You’re Producing More Than You Use.
Before switching to the High Production Rate, it’s a good idea to check that you’re consistently producing more electricity than you’re using. If your home is still pulling extra power from the grid, it might make more sense to start on the Low Production Rate until your solar system is in full swing.
A simple way to make the most of your solar power is by shifting when you use electricity. Try running your dishwasher, laundry machines, or charging your electric vehicle during the day, when your panels are actively generating power. This way, you’re using your own solar energy first, before pulling from the grid. Plus, this small change helps cut down on pesky transmission and distribution fees – a win-win!

Still Waiting for Your Solar to be Installed? We’ve Got You Covered.
If you’ve already signed a contract with a solar installer but your panels aren’t up yet, we offer a Pre-Solar Rate to help bridge the gap. This way, you can lock in a competitive rate while you wait, so when your system is finally ready to go, you can switch to The Solar Club™ without missing a beat.
Getting solar installed is just the beginning. By joining The Solar Club™, using your electricity wisely, and keeping an eye on your production levels, you’ll get the best return on your investment.
