A methodology that takes a uniform approach to establish the true value of the electricity produced by the distributed energy systems. Currently, the solar energy that is generated from photovoltaic systems varies in price depending on state and utility.
Due to the unique nature of solar energy production compared to conventional methods of energy production, there is currently not a market-wide accepted value of electricity produced from solar. The Value of Solar (VOC) is a methodology that takes the unique factors of solar energy production into consideration to determine an acceptable market value that benefits both residents and utilities.
