RCP is a net billing solar purchase energy rider, it measures the excess power you don't use and gives you a monthly bill credit based on the current RCP purchase rate. The credit will apply towards your APS billed amount for that month, and any remaining credit will roll over to the next month’s bill. At the end of the year, we’ll issue you a refund check if your monthly bill credit is more than $25.
