Credits are given to customers through a net-billing buy-all sell-all arrangement. This credit fluctuates monthly based on the fuel factor rate.
Customers who already have solar systems installed may be eligible for the CORE programme. For customers who have not yet installed systems, the installation time will depend on the customers’ contracted Installer’s availability.
