Originally called NEM 3.0 or Net Billing Tariff, PG&E’s new Solar Billing Plan credits customers for electricity they export based on its value to the grid. The California Public Utilities Commission changed net energy metering rules in December 2022 and PG&E will implement the new billing plan in December 2023. If you applied for interconnection after April 14, 2023, then the new rules will affect you.
So far, we know that adding a battery to your new solar system could help reduce your payback period since exporting stored energy in the evening will be worth more to the grid. Now is your time to take advantage of the SunShares discounts and 30% federal tax credit for battery storage.
We are still evaluating the design of our Solar Billing Plan to ensure an easy and equitable transition to the new billing method. As a reminder, PG&E and San José Clean Energy partner to provide your electricity service. We handle electric generation and PG&E handles transmission and delivery. Any energy not produced by your solar panels comes from us.
Stay tuned for updates headed to City Council in December 2023.
