Questions homeowners ask
Which customer-generation scope does Wyoming Schedule 135 describe?
It covers qualifying customer-owned generation on the premises, primarily offsetting the customer’s electrical needs, with capacity no greater than 25 kW. Confirm the actual service and accepted system with Rocky Mountain Power; this does not describe every Wyoming utility or Utah account.

Does excess net energy become the same thing as an immediate cash payment?
Schedule 135 says excess net energy receives a kilowatt-hour credit on the following month’s bill, while appropriate monthly charges remain. Keep the kWh balance and dollar charges in separate rows rather than treating exported energy as a cash payment.

When does Schedule 135 address the previous year’s remaining credits?
At the beginning of each calendar year, remaining unused kWh credits from the previous year are sold to the company using the applicable avoided-cost basis referenced in Schedule 37. Ask for the account’s settlement calculation and delivery-year basis.

Which Schedule 37 table should I review for unused net-metering credit prices?
Sheet 37-2 has a specific unused-net-metering-credit table organized by deliveries year and generation technology. It differs from the separate firm-power time-of-delivery tables. Confirm the applicable year and technology instead of choosing a price from an unrelated contract table.

Are Schedule 37’s unused-credit prices dollars per kWh?
The table labels them cents per kWh. Its 2026 Fixed Solar entry is 1.418 cents, equivalent to $0.01418 per kWh. Confirm the price actually used for your settlement; do not multiply a kWh balance by $1.418.

Why can the inverter’s production total exceed what the utility reports?
Rocky Mountain Power’s billing FAQ explains that generation can serve the home before reaching the grid. The utility tracks energy flowing back to its grid rather than total system generation. Compare matching periods and definitions before interpreting a difference as a system fault.

Where should I verify the tariff that controls my account?
The Wyoming tariff directory links the current schedules but says the tariffs actually in force are filed with the Wyoming Public Service Commission. Retain the applicable filed version and ask the utility to explain a disputed schedule, effective date or account calculation.

Your decision checklist
- Confirm Wyoming service territory and the accepted generation schedule.
- Keep the standard residential tariff beside Schedule 135.
- Record imports, exports, production and credit balances separately.
- Identify the actual calendar-year settlement record.
- Match Schedule 37’s deliveries year, technology and price units.
- Ask for a written explanation of unresolved bill differences.
- Keep utility approvals and any technical investigation separate.

Separate the utility records behind a solar forecast
| Record | Evidence and next question |
|---|---|
| Accepted service | Utility, Wyoming account classification, accepted generation schedule and standard tariff. Keep account identifiers private. |
| Billing period | Opening and closing dates, meter readings and corrected or estimated statements. Compare equivalent periods. |
| Energy directions | Grid imports, grid exports and separately measured inverter production. Preserve units and definitions. |
| Credit balance | Prior kWh balance, new credit, applied credit and remaining balance; ask the utility to explain adjustments. |
| Annual boundary | Year covered, settlement statement, kWh purchased and posting date. Request the actual calculation rather than inferring it from an app total. |
| Price record | Filed schedule, sheet revision, effective date, deliveries year, technology, cents-to-dollars conversion and utility explanation. |
| Unresolved question | The disputed line, supporting record, utility case reference, response and agreed next step. Keep technical scope and bill correction separate. |
Illustration only: applying the reviewed Schedule 37 table’s 2026 Fixed Solar entry to an invented 300 kWh unused balance gives 300 × $0.01418 = $4.254, or $4.25 rounded to cents. This demonstrates units, not an actual bill, a promised payment or a complete utility settlement. Ask Rocky Mountain Power which deliveries year and technology apply to the real account and how it rounds and posts the result. A year-end purchase calculation is a separate record from a monthly kWh balance. Source: Schedule 37, sheet 37-2; reviewed October 7, 2026.
Fictional record comparison: a homeowner sees 800 kWh in an inverter report and 350 kWh of exported energy in a utility record, but the dates do not match. First align the periods and record the two measurement definitions; then ask for any missing or corrected meter record. Those invented numbers alone do not diagnose a fault, establish a disputed credit or calculate savings. If a technical concern remains, describe the observation and request a defined investigation scope.
Reviewed October 7, 2026 using the Wyoming tariff directory, linked Schedule 135, both pages, linked Schedule 37, all ten pages and customer-generation billing FAQ. Schedule 135’s sheets are effective June 1, 2025; the reviewed unused-credit sheet 37-2 is effective April 30, 2026. The guide uses the specific unused-credit table rather than applying qualifying-facility contract provisions to every home. It does not determine an individual settlement year, eligibility, property-transfer treatment or required system modification.
This resource concerns Rocky Mountain Power’s Wyoming Schedule 135 records. Other Wyoming utilities and Rocky Mountain Power accounts in other states require their own terms. The organizer and fictional comparisons are editorial preparation aids, not additional legal requirements. Confirm the currently applicable filed tariff and accepted account arrangement before making financial or system decisions. No zero-bill outcome, savings, payout amount, approval or repair is guaranteed.
Use existing documents and safely available monitoring information. Do not open electrical equipment, climb onto the roof, operate isolation equipment, change utility settings or reconnect a system to resolve a billing question. Ask the responsible qualified provider to handle technical work. Keep meter identifiers, account numbers, property details, case attachments and login credentials private.
Continue with electricity-bill measurements, the separate Rocky Mountain Power Utah guide and installation and utility-approval milestones. Solar Survey AI’s evidence methodology helps keep observations, utility calculations and technical findings distinct. For a system concern, confirm available inspection scope, location availability, qualifications, access, fees and commercial conflicts. Third-party does not automatically mean independent. An inspection cannot set utility rates or guarantee a bill adjustment. Homeowner monitoring connections and planned free remote diagnosis remain coming soon.
