The customer will receive (1) kWh credit for each (1) kWh they over generate and push into the grid. If the system generates more than the customer consumes in the month, the kWh credit will roll over to the next month. At the end of our twelve (12) month billing cycle (which ends in March), the customer has the option to continue rolling the credits forward or getting a check for their over-generated kWh times the utility's current electric purchase rate.

Compiled from public records, 2026. Tariffs and interconnection rules change; verify with Borough of Madison before you rely on this. The useful move: if an installer says you need a main panel upgrade, ask how these tap and interconnection policies were considered first.
