Solar PV and Net Energy: How Your Green Investment Impacts Your EECA Reporting Reading Time: 8–10 minutes Key Takeaway: Installing solar does not automatically reduce your EECA reporting obligations. How you calculate net energy determines whether your compliance is accurate. Solar PV and Net Energy: How Your Green Investment Impacts Your EECA Reporting Introduction Many companies install solar PV thinking it will automatically lower their reported energy use. The panels go up, the electricity bill drops, and everyone feels good. But here’s the problem. When EECA reporting starts, confusion begins. Do you report gross energy? Net energy? What about exported solar power? Does self-generated energy count? If your numbers are wrong, your compliance status may also be wrong. That’s the risk. You invested in green technology to strengthen your sustainability profile — not to create reporting mistakes. Solar PV and Net Energy: How Your Green Investment Impacts Your EECA Report...
