Understanding how you use electricity is the first step to saving more money.
At Evergreen Solar, we use Green Button Data to help homeowners and businesses see their real energy usage. This data comes from your utility account or smart meter. It shows how much electricity you use each day, month, and year.
You can access your energy usage through your utility provider. This is often called Green Button Connect, Green Button Download, or My Energy Data.
Green Button Data allows you to securely download or share your electricity usage data. This helps your solar installer understand your power needs before designing a solar or battery system.
Sign in to your energy provider portal, such as PG&E, SCE, or another utility company.
Click Green Button Download and save the file. Many utilities provide the file in CSV format, which is easy to open in a spreadsheet.
