Solar and net metering
South Carolina Electric&Gas Co reports 16,383 residential solar installations to the EIA, totalling 118.323 MW. That means exported power is likely to earn something here, though what an exported kWh is worth depends on state rules rather than on the tariff in most cases.
For reference, South Carolina Electric&Gas Co collected an average of $0.1641 per kWh from residential customers in the most recent EIA survey, across all its tariffs and all usage levels. A single tariff priced at 1,000 kWh a month will differ from that blended figure.
