Carl,
In my area (PG&E, N. California) I've installed solar on
four of my rentals. Rather than trying to figure out monthly billing,
renters come, renters go, true-up, some occasionally don't pay their
bills, etc. I decided to just bump up the rent to cover the average cost
of power. The tenant still gets the PG&E bill and pays the ~$10/mo.
meter charge and if they are there at true-up time they pay zero or a
small end-of-year amount. My renters have been happy with this arrangement.
You have to do some math to have it come out close and I
did the grid-ties after each rental had some electrical history.
Fortunately nobody has decided to have a grow-room, yet. Whenever an
appliance needs replacing, I install Energy Star replacements. Of
course I tell them that if they are reasonably careful their true-up
will be little to none. Eventually my investment gets paid off and the
higher rent goes into my pocket instead of PG&E's. Win-win.

Hello wrenches,
I have a client that is installing solar on a commercial building
where he has four points of connection for four tenants. Are there
any good solutions out there for metering power for tenants in this
situation. Production metering will be done via SolarEdge revenue
grade meters.
With kind of regards
