Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why do I receive a separate bill from Clearway?
A: Clearway’s program is separate from your utility, and your energy supply is still through your local utility. Therefore, you will continue to receive your utility bill as usual, but now, your utility bill will show the solar bill credits resulting from your Clearway subscription, which reduces your utility charges. Clearway will send a separate bill to you for the solar bill credits at your contracted rate.
Q: Do I still need to pay my utility bill?
A: Yes, you are still responsible for paying your monthly utility bill. Your charges will be lowered by the solar bill credits applied to your bill.
Q: What are solar bill credits?
A: Every month, the solar energy generated by the solar farm is sent directly to the local power grid, and Clearway customers receive solar bill credits (sometimes called “net metering credits”) for the solar energy produced. The solar bill credits are applied directly to utility bills, reducing the charges.
Q: I need assistance logging into the online Customer Portal; who should I contact?
A: If you are having trouble logging into the online Customer Portal, you can reset your password by clicking the “Reset Password” button. If you are unsure of your username, please be sure to try the email address associated with your Clearway account. If you still need assistance, please call 1.855.712.7508 Mon-Fri, 8am-8pm CST for support.
Q: I have moved and need to transfer my Clearway account to my new address; who should I contact?
A: Clearway’s customer support team can assist you in transferring your Clearway account to your new address in the event of a move within Clearway’s serviceable territory. To start your transfer, please email Customer Support at customersupport@clearwayenergy.com or call 1.855.712.7508 Mon-Fri, 8am-8pm CST for support. Please be sure to provide your contract number, your current home address, and your new home address.
Q: What is the development status of the Clearway Community Solar farm to which I am assigned?
A: The development of a Community Solar farm is a unique process that requires many steps, from various permitting, to thorough and professional construction, interconnections to your local power grid, completion of all inspections, and ultimately, activation.
As the largest developer and operator of Community Solar farms in the United States, Clearway is proud of the efficiency we have mastered around bringing our farms to a live state. However, this all does take some time, and your patience is appreciated. Depending on the time of your enrollment and your region, your assigned Clearway Community Solar farm may be active within the next few months. Others, especially in newer regions like Illinois, are expected to be live by the end of 2020.
Clearway will send you an email and letter notification when your farm is placed in service and notify you once again before billing begins.
