September 25, 2024

Below you will find instructions on how to obtain the energy usage and account information SolarCraft will use to develop the most appropriate, and most valuable, clean energy system for your home. Please download and send us the Green Button Data AND your most recent PG&E bill so that we can help you maximize the financial, environmental and safety benefits of solar and battery storage.

4. Scroll down and select "Export Usage for a Range of Days" and enter the last 12 months into the date range field. Then Click "CSV" and Click on "EXPORT"

5. Open the zip file and send only the electrical data in an EXCEL format to your Clean Energy Consultant. We will not need the gas data.

AND

Please send over a copy of your most recent PGE bill so that we may confirm what electric rate you are on, your baseline territory and account name and address - which becomes especially important later in the process of going solar. It will also confirm if you are on Marin Clean Energy (MCE) or Sonoma Clean Power (SCP).
