How to Set Up Your Online Electric Utility Account: A Step-by-Step Guide

Transitioning to solar energy is a great way to save on your electricity bills and contribute to a more sustainable future.

To fully integrate your solar services, it's essential to set up your online electric utility account.

 

Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you get started.

Step 1: Go to Your Electric Utility Provider's Website
Begin by visiting the website of your electric utility provider. This is the starting point for creating your online account, which is crucial for managing your energy usage and integrating solar services.

Step 2: Create an Online Account
Once on your utility provider's website, look for the option to create a new account. You will need to provide some personal information, including your email address, account number, and other relevant details. Follow the prompts to set up your username and password.

Step 3: Review and Confirm Terms & Conditions
After entering your information, you will be asked to review and agree to the Terms & Conditions. Carefully read through these terms to understand your responsibilities and the services provided. Once reviewed, confirm your agreement to proceed.

Step 4: Disable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) in Your Account Settings
To allow Ivy Energy to seamlessly access your utility meter data, you need to disable multi-factor authentication (MFA) in your account settings. This step eliminates the need for additional verifications, making data access more efficient. Navigate to your account settings and find the MFA option. Toggle the setting to disable it, ensuring smooth data integration.
