Home Solar System
Utilizing solar power is great for the planet. If you’re thinking about investing in a solar-powered system for your home, there’s a lot to research and consider. Your friends at PMU are here to help.
We’ll help you understand the true cost and savings to help you determine what you’re currently spending with us each month for electric service versus what you’ll save over the life of a solar-powered system.
A few things to consider:
- Property - How much direct sunlight does your property get? Do you have enough room for solar panels to be installed?
- Choices - Many different solar panel systems are available. Which one is best for your situation?
- Compatibility - Will your new system work with our existing utilities?
- Legal - Do you need permits or licenses?
- Cost - How much are you looking to invest? How much of a return are you expecting?
Call today to schedule a consultation with PMU before you invest.

Power Cost Adjustment
What is a Power Cost Adjustment? (PCA)
The PCA is a monthly adjustment applied to each PMU electric customer’s bill based upon their individual kilowatt-hour consumption. Several conditions affect the cost of energy: weather, demand, contract stipulations, oil and gas prices, among other items. When there are short-term increases in power costs, the PCA allows recovery of those costs. If the cost of generating and purchasing power decreases, PMU passes the decrease along to customers as well.
City of Paragould Ordinance # 2011-02 sets the base energy cost at $0.04876 per kilowatt-hour. The monthly per kWh charge shall be increased or decreased to reflect changes in the cost of delivered power and energy above or below a base power and energy cost of $.04876 per kWh.
