This is calculated using a number of factors such as the size of your solar system and the amount of energy it produces, the situation of your home and REC price that you the owner of the house and the solar system installer will agree on. One REC unit is equal to one hour of electricity megawatt power. The more solar energy that you are able to generate using your solar system the more the savings you're able to get.
