PG&E Tariffs tell us why to go solar. We get paid for helping.
Solar stabilizes the grid by supplying energy to grid when it is needed most.
When we continue paying retail rates to rent electricity, we act as traditional consumers. In this role, we have placed demands on the 100+ years old grid and have only one way of receiving energy. We had been paying Retail Rates. Now, we save money by eliminating extra transmission fees and most distribution fees when drawing energy from our quiet and clean mini-energy factory on our roof.
- PG&E only charges $10 for distribution when we go solar.
- Without solar, we will contribute towards rising rates as we drew from far less efficient, environmentally unfriendly emergency supply of electricity on the hottest days when energy supplies have been less than 5% of all available.
- Time Of Use Rate Plans help prevent blackouts. This encourages us to draw less when demand becomes excessive on the grid.
In 2+ minutes, PG&E explains NET ENERGY METERING.
- NEM allows PG&E solar subscriber to use the grid as a virtual battery, but pays interest with Time Of Use.
- Deposit electricity into the grid when it is not being consumed. Billing is credited to the Net Energy Metering account.
- Solar subscriber is credited real time value time of day and season when the electricity is deposited into the grid EG:PEAK HOURS credited at the highest rate.
- At night, or rainy days, when no electricity is being produced from solar, the solar subscriber buys units of electricity back from PG&E for normal price.*
- At the end of each month, solar customer receives a NEM Statement. This shows debits or credits in Peak and off peak hours.
Non-Bypassable Charge of 2 cents/kWh is added to NEM 2.0 subscribers when buying back.
