Description

AEP Ohio has a "net metering with dollar credits" format that never gets returned to the customer as a check, but does continuously roll over onto future bills:

SAM does not model this correctly currently, as net metering with dollar credits cash out at the end of the true up period. Investigate how to apply this checkbox to net billing with $ credits.

Research direction

Start by reviewing SAM's existing net metering with dollar credits logic and the AEP Ohio net metering PDF linked in the issue. Trace where the true-up period cash-out is applied and how the checkbox is represented; done means dollar credits roll over to future bills instead of being returned as a check.
