What is Know True-Up®?

Complete energy visibility for NEM 2.0 solar customers.

Know True-Up® is Solar Data Pros' purpose-built product for California NEM 2.0 residential solar consumers and the contractors who monitor and service them. It gives users a way to gain insight into their complete energy data profile and minimize their annual True-Up bill.

Accessed from your computer or our phone app, the monitoring service gives customers visibility into their energy activities by combining inverter manufacturer production data with utility company smart meter data — and running both through our proprietary energy analysis algorithms.

What drives your True-Up bill
Solar overproduction Credit earned
72% offset — system producing above target
Off-peak grid draw Manageable
35% of consumption from grid at low-rate hours
Peak-hour draw (4–9 PM) Watch this
58% of net charge occurs at peak-rate window
Shift 3 loads out of peak window → estimated savings $380/yr
Features

Complete, fast, and easy energy management at your fingertips.

Everything you need to understand your system's performance and take action before your True-Up arrives.

Production + consumption combined

Inverter manufacturer production data is combined with utility smart meter data in a single view — no more switching between apps to understand your full energy picture.

Year-round True-Up monitoring

Track your cumulative net energy position throughout the 12-month NEM cycle so you can take action well before the annual True-Up bill arrives.

Energy profile insights

Our proprietary algorithms analyze your complete energy data profile to surface actionable insights — including peak-hour draw, seasonal patterns, and efficiency opportunities.

Web & mobile access

Access your Know True-Up® dashboard from any desktop browser or through the mobile app — your energy data is always with you, updated in real time.

Contractor monitoring tools

Solar contractors can monitor and service their customer base through a dedicated interface — track performance across your entire portfolio and flag issues before customers call.

How it works

Two data sources. One clear picture.

Know True-Up® pulls data from two places your utility can't show you together, and layers in our proprietary analysis to turn raw numbers into meaningful guidance.

1
Inverter production data connected
Know True-Up® pulls real-time production data directly from your inverter manufacturer — the precise record of every kilowatt-hour your solar panels generated.
2
Utility smart meter data synced
Simultaneously, smart meter data from your utility company is synced in — capturing every kilowatt-hour you drew from the grid and when you drew it.
3
Proprietary algorithms analyze your profile
Solar Data Pros' energy analysis algorithms combine both data streams, identify your usage patterns, and calculate your projected True-Up position in real time.
4
Actionable insights delivered
You get clear, complete energy management tools at your fingertips — so you can shift loads, optimize behavior, and arrive at your True-Up cycle in the best possible position.
Understanding NEM 2.0

What is a True-Up bill — and why does it matter?

Under California's NEM 2.0 billing structure, your utility doesn't settle your solar account monthly — they accumulate your net energy usage over a 12-month cycle and send you one annual True-Up bill. That bill can be a surprise if you haven't been watching.

Know True-Up® was built to solve exactly this.

By combining your inverter production data with utility smart meter data and our proprietary algorithms, Know True-Up® shows you where you stand at any point in your NEM cycle — so the annual settlement is never a surprise.

J
January — Cycle begins
Your NEM 2.0 billing cycle resets. Know True-Up® starts accumulating your net energy balance from day one.
S
Spring/Summer — Peak production
Longer days mean more solar production. Know True-Up® tracks your credits building up against future grid charges.
F
Fall — Usage shifts
Production dips while heating and lighting increase. Know True-Up® alerts you if your net position starts moving against you.
D
December — True-Up arrives
The utility settles your annual account. With Know True-Up® you already knew what was coming — and took steps to minimize it.

Know where you stand before your True-Up arrives.
