How do I report a meter reading?
Whether you need to report a meter reading depends on how your system is set up. Some systems report automatically, while others require self-reporting.
Am I required to self-report my meter reading?
You are required to self-report if:
-
You received an email from Sol Systems requesting a meter reading, or
-
Your system is set up for manual reporting
If you are unsure, you can confirm your reporting method in the Sol Systems Dashboard.
How do I find my meter reading?
Before submitting a reading, you will need to:
-
Determine which device to report from (dedicated meter or inverter), and
-
Locate the total production reading displayed on the device
You can find detailed instructions on locating and reading your meter here.
How do I submit my meter reading?
If you already have your meter reading, follow these steps:
-
Log in to the Sol Systems Dashboard
-
Click the Systems tab in the top navigation
-
In the Systems table, click Add Meter Reading
-
Enter your meter reading and click Submit
What if my reading is flagged?
Occasionally, the Dashboard may flag a reading that appears unusually high or unusually low.
If this happens, you will be required to attach:
-
A screenshot from your remote monitoring platform, or
-
A photo of your dedicated solar meter clearly showing the reading
Self-reporting in Massachusetts
Massachusetts customers must follow state-specific reporting requirements.
-
Customers set to self-report must enter readings directly into the MassCEC Production Tracking System
-
Solar systems:
-
Under 25 kW may self-report
-
Over 25 kW must report through an approved Data Acquisition System (DAS)
-
A step-by-step video tutorial for Massachusetts self-reporting is available through MassCEC.
