These configurations are available for solar photovoltaic, wind, micro-hydroelectric, and other renewable sources of generation. Duke Energy Carolinas offers two “net metering” options and two sell-all options. Choose the configuration that best suits your project.

A parallel generation schedule is also available for larger cogeneration and small power production facilities that provides supplemental and standby services, plus the opportunity to sell excess generation to the grid.
