A satisfied homeowner shared how they received a check in the mail from their energy company.
The OP's home runs on solar power, and though they've consumed more energy than they generated, the OP still received a check in the mail for $28.29 in solar rewards from Xcel Energy.
At first, the OP was not quite sure why they received the check for solar awards, but one user explained how it works. "You got [the] check because that's what they're paying you for the kWh you've generated, regardless of how much you've consumed," wrote the user.
"Good to know," responded the OP. "I read every page of the contract the best I could, but it's pretty heavy."
