Utility records
Solar economics depend on your utility’s rates and export rules, not the state average. These starter records cover the largest US utilities — each with rate context, export-policy classification and a verify-before-relying note.
Coverage note: this is a starter set, not the full US utility map. Records are market estimates gathered 2026-08; always confirm against your bill and the utility tariff.

Why utility-level data matters
A California IOU customer paying 40¢/kWh under NEM 3.0 has completely different solar economics from a Texas customer paying 15¢/kWh with 1:1 net metering — even if both install the same system at the same price. Export policy (retail net metering vs net billing vs avoided cost) determines what your surplus kWh are worth, which decides whether a battery is a smart add. We’ll expand this database over time; every record stays dated and sourced.
