      What’s the difference between ARR and VOS?

      • ARR (Applicable Retail Rate) is tied to the actual electricity rate a customer pays and fluctuates with retail pricing.
      • VOS (Value of Solar) is a fixed rate based on a formula that estimates the value solar energy provides to the grid. This includes avoided fuel costs, avoided infrastructure costs, and environmental benefits.
