HOW WILL I BE BILLED?
You will receive two bills. The first bill will come from your utility. It will be reduced by the value of the bill credits from JOE-4-SUN (an average of $50 per month). The second bill will come from us about 30 days after your utility bill, for 50% of the value of the bill credits you ALREADY received.

HOW DO I PAY?
ARE THERE MONTHLY FEES OR OTHER CHARGES?
No. There is no subscription fee, start up fee, or termination fee for JOE-4-SUN. You will not be billed until after you begin to receive credits, and then only for the credits that you use each month, at a 50% discount.
ARE THERE ANY MONTHLY FEES?
WHEN WILL I SEE CREDITS ON MY BILL?
After you are accepted into JOE-4-SUN, we will send your account to the utility. You will see savings on your bill after being processed and assigned to one of our solar arrays by your utility, which takes 1-2 billing cycles.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I MOVE?
As soon as you know you’re moving, please alert our JOE-4-SUN Customer Service team so they can help you navigate your options. There are a few different possibilities, depending on your situation.
​
1. If you are moving within the same service territory (Eversource or National Grid), it
is possible for you to keep your utility account number and transfer your JOE-4-
SUN service without interruption.
​
​
2. If you are moving within the same service territory (Eversource or National Grid)
but you decide to get a new utility account number, you would need to cancel your
JOE-4-SUN subscription and reapply.*
​
3. If you are moving outside your current service territory, you must cancel your JOE-
4-SUN account. You can reapply to JOE-4-SUN if you are moving to an area in
Massachusetts serviced by Eversource or National Grid. If you move to a region
with a different electricity provider, unfortunately JOE-4-SUN is not available
outside of Eversource or National Grid territory yet.*
​
4. If moving out-of-state, check here to see if JOE-4-SUN assistance extends to your
new home.
* You can click on the “How to Cancel” tab on the upper left-hand side of this page to
learn more about cancelling your JOE-4-SUN account.
Your JOE-4-SUN account is most quickly cancelled if you close your utility account. However, we will help you save on energy until you receive your last utility bill with that account.
​
I moved and I’m still getting JOE-4-SUN invoices!
When you move, your final JOE-4-SUN invoice will come two to three months after your move. Your utility will send you your last electric bill about one month after you move, and your last JOE-4-SUN invoice for those credits will arrive about one month after that.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I MOVE?
WHAT IF I'M NOT GETTING A JOE-4-SUN INVOICE?
If you aren’t getting a monthly JOE-4-SUN invoice, it’s most likely because it is being emailed to you, but filtered out by your spam or junk mail filter. There are a few ways to fix this.
1. Make sure JOE4SUN@citizensenergy.com is added to your email contact list so
that your system will recognize it.
2. If you are unable to find the email in your inbox, junk or spam folder, we can also
change your invoice preference to paper so you get your JOE-4-SUN invoice in the
mail each month.
If you have any questions about this, or would like us to change your invoice preference, please call us at (855) 563-4786 and leave a voicemail with your full name and JOE-4-SUN account number, or email us at JOE4SUN@citizensenergy.com.
HOW DO I GET EMAILS?
