Another way that used to be available, though not sure it is still available, is to buy a portion of a solar farm development and receive a portion of the revenue generated to offset your current electric bill.

The point is that the size of a residential roof doesn't generate enough during the day to make the net metering profitable. Put a small solar farm on the land with a sun tracking array, and you have more generation for a shorter payback.

Guess I should ask the ARC if I could put a small solar farm in my backyard and if really daring front yard as well.
