Question 1

What is Ambit Energy's Solar Buyback program?

Accepted Answer

Solar Buyback is an Ambit Energy plan that credits your electric bill for excess solar energy your system sends back to the grid, measured through your existing smart meter. It's available to customers who already have solar panels or are considering installing them.

Question 2

Do I need to already have solar panels to sign up?

Accepted Answer

No. Ambit Energy accepts Solar Buyback requests from customers who already have solar installed and from customers who are still considering panels — the request form asks about your current solar status so Ambit can tailor the offer.

Question 3

How do I find out how much I could earn from Solar Buyback?

Accepted Answer

Submit your contact and service address information through the Solar Buyback Savings Analysis form on this page. Ambit Energy reviews your details and follows up with a personalized savings estimate based on your TDU zone and system.

Question 4

What if I'm switching from another provider with solar panels already installed?

Accepted Answer

Select "Switching from another provider" on the Solar Panel Installation Status question — this tells Ambit Energy your system is already active so the savings analysis reflects an existing setup rather than a new installation.

Question 5

How is my excess solar energy measured and credited?

Accepted Answer

Your smart meter records the energy your system sends back to the grid, and Ambit Energy applies a bill credit for that excess production. Exact credit rates and eligibility depend on your TDU zone and the specific Solar Buyback plan term you choose.
