The challenge

Community solar demand is growing. Manual program management can't keep up.

Interest in community renewable energy is growing fast — but managing eligibility, credits, and payments across thousands of accounts without end-to-end community solar software is hard to do well at scale. Three things tend to break first.

Eligibility is slow and error-prone

Verifying customers aganist program rules, utility territories, LMI solar eligibility requirements, and capacity limits by hand is costly - and every mistake creates a downstream billing dispute.

Community solar credit calculation is always at stake

Calculating bill credits across thousands of accounts, variable generation, seasonal swings, escrow, and O&M adjustments on spreadsheets invites disputes the moment a number looks off.

Reconciliation never ends

Without a clean bidirectional link to your CIS, billing teams reconcile data twice every cycle. Trust erodes between developers, the utility, and subscribers - and audits become painful.

The platform

Four processes the utility owns. One end-to-end community solar platform.

How it works

The end-to-end community solar program management process, automated

EzCBRE moves every subscriber through the same reliable 5-stage flow — from solar subscriber enrollment automation to verified bill credit posting. The utility holds approval authority at every critical gate.

1

Verify eligibility

Check each customer against CIS, program rules, territory, LMI status, and capacity - in real time.

2

Enroll & allocate

Contract, sign, pay, and assign subscriber shares - fully digital or offline as needed.

3

Calculate credits

Turn generation and usage data into defensible bill credits every cycle - with escrow and O&M handled automatically.

4

Reconcile & verify

Match developer data against CIS records automatically. Exceptions are flagged - not buried in spreadsheets.

5

Post to CIS & report

Bill credits post directly to your CIS. Regulatory and program reports are audit-ready and always current.

Integrated with your Utility CIS. EzCBRE connects to SAP IS-U / CR&B, SAP S/4HANA, and Oracle utilities for real-time and batch data exchange - no double entry, no reconciliation headaches.
