[QUOTE="Stanger00, post: 16731217, member: 128629"] California is on Net Meter 2.0. The CPUC is looking to go for Net Meter 3.0 and it’s a big bust for new solar customers and grandfather clause on systems <19 years since active, IIRC, and after 20 years you pay what new customers pay. There will also be a $10 fee per kW on top of the nominal fees. I hope this doesn’t make it through! This will cause a big disruption for solar purchasing for new customers in CA. I never considered solar due to needing to financing for a system. I wouldn’t save money. Honestly, I would be paying more money for solar in the winter months due to natural gas usage and more cloudy days. We learned to manage our tiered plan pretty well. Our utility, PG&E, are now automatically flipping us to TOU plan due to issues with excess energy in daylight hours and not enough energy in the evening and had to manually change back to tiered rates which now cost more. I’m about to buy a new construction home and since 2018 CA , code for a new construction home is the installation of roof solar. So my new house will come with a 4.95kW system installed and it’s priced in for cost of the home. I’ll most likely add on to the system because other neighbors have added 8 panels with same floor plan. I have a lot to learn on how to minimize my usage foot print without getting screwed on yearly true-up. [/QUOTE]
