Congratulations. You are signing up for the simplest solar program in Texas. Period.
[Graphic: three characters representing (1) Shell Energy, (2) the solar installer, and (3) the local transmission and distribution company are shown on screen]
For your home’s individual solar program, three organizations work together to provide you the installation, your solar energy & your backup grid electricity. Shell Energy is your retail electric provider, and you’ll receive a monthly bill from Shell Energy for your grid electricity usage.
Your solar panel installer is your solar electricity manager and panel maintenance, provider.
And your local electricity transmission company manages the power lines and all of the infrastructure that brings you electricity from the grid.

So, let’s get started and get those solar panels on your roof. After the initial site review, the solar installer will install your solar.

Next, your installer works with the distribution provider to ensure inspections are performed. If you pass your inspection, the distribution provider installs your new meter and will alert you & the installer that it’s safe to turn your system on.
[Graphic and text: Don’t turn on solar installation yet]
It’s important not to turn it on until your distribution provider tells you it’s ‘ok’!
[Graphic: Okay to turn on now!]
Check!

Now it’s time to get generating. The system is now operational, and your solar is making and using clean energy.
[Graphic: electricity is shown going to the home and then to the power lines (the grid)]
As your solar panels generate power, that electricity can go to two different places -- your home or the grid.
[Graphic: a chart is shown on the screen displaying a conceptual view of the electricity being used by the home at various times of day, generated by the solar panels, the electricity being exported to the grid, and the electricity being brought into the home from the grid.]
If the solar power, goes straight to your home and you are using exactly the amount that you are generating, you won’t use any electricity from the grid at all.
If your solar panels are generating more power than your home is using, then the electricity is exported to the grid.
Shell Energy will credit you for this extra power. But remember: When the panels aren’t generating enough electricity, you’ll need to draw power from the grid. You’ll see charges on your bill for this “delivered” electricity, as well as charges for grid usage from your distribution provider -- just like you always have.
