Net Excess Generation Notes

HILCO does net meter within a billing cycle. What that means is we do not pay for any over production or buyback of energy, but we do allow your extra generation to collect over the monthly billing period and any extra energy you produce can be used within the billing period.

Compiled from public records, 2026. Tariffs and interconnection rules change; verify with HILCO Electric Cooperative 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.
