subscription credit

French translation: quota d'abbonnement

English to French translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Energy / Power Generation / Renewable energy
English term or phrase: subscription credit
The text is referring to an innovation whereby rural areas use a renewable energy micro-grid instead of the government supplied electricity.

Here is the sentence providing context:
"This innovation is a self-contained, community managed renewable energy power grid for rural areas.
Power generated by a renewable energy source is stored in batteries and distributed to consumers through the Standard Microgrid.
Rather than paying a utility company for electricity by the kilowatt unit, a local Micro-grid manager is provided simple tools to manage the grid and distribute *subscription credit*to community members connected to the grid."

I would appreciate your suggested translations for this term. As I do not understand its meaning, or how to translate it (and I have to hand in the translation by the end of the day!)

Thanking you in advance

un quota de kWh déterminé par leur abonnement/souscription


Explanation:
"Customers pay a fixed monthly fee, based on both the amount of PV to which they want to subscribe (from 0.5 to 4 kW) and their average electricity consumption. In order to encourage conservation, SMUD makes the SolarShares less expensive for their customers who use less electricity. Once enrolled, a customer is locked in at the fixed monthly fee, for as long as they wish to participate. They receive monthly kWh credits for the estimated output of their solar subscription. "

"un crédit d'abonnement" me semble être autre chose - un excédent non utilisé pour une période antérieure, reporté à la période suivante.

Asker: Merci beaucoup pour cette réponse. Mais n'auriez vous pas une traduction plus succinte peut-être ? Est-ce que le terme "crédit d'abonnement" reflète la même idée que votre phrase ou pensez-vous que ce soit faux ?

Asker: Oui, je comprends, vous avez tout à fait raison!

une quote-part de production


Explanation:
Quote-part de résultat sur les opérations faites en commun : dans les cas des sociétés en participation,
ces comptes servent à transférer chez les co-participants les pertes ou les bénéfices de la SEP qui leur
reviennent.

Je pense que cela traduit l'idée de 'credit' (production) et de "subscription' (quote-part), la part qui leur revient...mais ?
