BrightBill is a free online tool that analyzes your PG&E bill to find overcharges, identify the optimal rate plan for your home, and calculate how much you could save — typically $347/year on average. Upload your PDF bill and get a detailed report in under 2 minutes.

How does bill analysis work?

Upload your PG&E bill (PDF or photo). BrightBill reads every line — rate plan, usage, charges, NEM credits, and CCA rates. It then compares your current plan against all available alternatives and generates a personalized savings report ranked by dollar impact. No account required.

Yes. Basic bill analysis is completely free. You can upload your bill and see your full savings report without creating an account. Paid plans offer deeper analysis, scenario modeling, and ongoing monitoring.

What utilities does BrightBill support?

BrightBill currently supports Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) bills for California residential customers. Support for additional utilities is on the roadmap.

The average BrightBill user finds $347 in annual savings — often by switching to the correct rate plan (E-TOU-D instead of E-TOU-C, for example) or identifying billing errors. Solar customers on NEM 3.0 have found significantly more, sometimes $5,000+ in annual exposure they weren't aware of.

Does BrightBill work if I have solar panels?

Yes, and it's especially important for solar customers. BrightBill analyzes your NEM (Net Energy Metering) balance, true-up exposure, and usage patterns to show whether you're maximizing your solar investment or losing money at annual true-up. Many solar customers don't realize the damage until September arrives.
