Because sdg e s nem 2 0 program uses tou rates solar homeowners won t always get the maximum value out of their solar electricity grid electricity during the early to mid afternoon hours will cost less so the solar electricity sent back to the grid during those times will receive a lower net metering credit.
Sdge grandfathered solar panel electricity rates.
A grandfathered rate plan is no longer open to customer enrollment.
They need to do this to fix the duck curve by giving solar owners incentive to use their solar power onsite instead of selling it to the grid.
The calculated savings depending on the amount of solar energy you want to produce is an estimate based on the historical energy use of your home.
The fee for this is 132 in sdg e territory and is required for all residential and commercial installations.

During the day i sell as much electricity as possible generated by my panels to the grid.
If you re enrolled in one of these rates you can continue to stay on it for now.
If you have an electricity generation system that uses a renewable fuel source such as wind or solar you can earn bill credits for excess power that flows from your system to sdg e s electricity grid.
Only before 10am and after 9pm.
For example under sdge s default tou plan the off peak price during the summer months is 21 cents a kilowatt hour.
For example right now i run my pool pumps ac appliances etc.
This contributes to energy sustainability in our state that makes the future bright for generations to come.
Under net metering 2 0 every customer who goes solar has to have a representative from the city come out to do an inspection on the installation and sign off on its activation.
