Solar across the Dayton area
AES Ohio serves Dayton, Kettering, Huber Heights, Beavercreek, Fairborn, Xenia, Springfield, and Troy. Ranch and split-level homes built after mid-century dominate many of these neighborhoods, offering simple roof planes for efficient arrays, and we handle the AES Ohio interconnection paperwork end to end.
Net Metering with AES Ohio
Ohio requires investor-owned utilities to offer net metering to residential solar customers, and AES Ohio is one of them. When your panels produce more electricity than your home uses, the surplus is exported to the grid and you earn a kilowatt-hour credit. Those credits offset the electricity you draw when your panels are not producing enough, such as at night or during cloudy weather.
How Your Bill Changes
After installing solar, your AES Ohio bill still includes a monthly customer charge and distribution fees. The generation portion, usually the biggest part, gets offset by your solar production and net metering credits. During high-production months, your bill may drop to just the basic service fees.
Credit Carryover and Year-End Settlement
Credits carry forward month to month, so surplus generated during long summer days can offset higher winter usage. At the end of your annual billing cycle, any remaining excess credits get settled at the utility's avoided-cost rate, which is lower than the full retail rate. Sizing the system to match your annual usage is what makes net metering pay.
The AES Ohio Interconnection Process
We handle the full interconnection process with AES Ohio so you do not have to deal with the paperwork.
Consultation and System Design
We assess your energy usage and property to design a system that matches your needs. The Dayton area is dominated by mid-century ranches, split-levels, and Cape Cods with simple gable roofs, which keeps array layouts efficient.
Interconnection Application
We file the interconnection application with AES Ohio on your behalf. This formal request starts the process of connecting your system to the grid.
Utility Review and Engineering
AES Ohio reviews the application and performs any required engineering studies. Most residential systems pass review without complications.
Installation and Meter Setup
After the interconnection is approved, we install the panels and coordinate the bi-directional meter setup with the utility. That meter tracks energy flowing in both directions.
Permission to Operate
Once AES Ohio completes their final inspection and grants permission to operate, your system goes live and begins generating credits.
