This is worked out using a lot of factors like the size of your solar system and the quantity of energy it produces, the situation of your home and REC price that you the owner of the house and the solar system installer will agree on. One REC unit equals 60 minutes of electricity megawatt power. The more solar energy that you're able to generate using your solar system the more the savings you are able to get.
