Please keep in mind that sdg e doesn t endorse any particular contractor and the projected savings are estimates based on sdg e s current rates.
Sdge grandfathered solar panel electricity rates.
Pursuant to california public utilities commission cpuc decision d 18 09 044 solar net energy metering interconnection applications submitted by a solar provider on behalf of existing residential single family home customers on and after september 30 2019 are required to include the following documents which must be uploaded to sdg e s interconnection application portal distribution.
Sdge recently proposed a 28 rate hike over the next 4 years.
For example right now i run my pool pumps ac appliances etc.
The biggest increase of 11 would be happening in 2019.
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.
A grandfathered rate plan is no longer open to customer enrollment.
This contributes to energy sustainability in our state that makes the future bright for generations to come.
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.
Only before 10am and after 9pm.
The rate you are currently on may now be a grandfathered rate plan including tou d a tou d b tou ev 1 and tou d t.
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.
By installing a solar energy system also known as photovoltaic or pv system you re doing your part to help the environment since the energy comes from the sun is clean and completely renewable.
For example under sdge s default tou plan the off peak price during the summer months is 21 cents a kilowatt hour.
During the day i sell as much electricity as possible generated by my panels to the grid.
That s 4 cents less than the tiered rate of 25 cents a kilowatt hour.
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.
If you re enrolled in one of these rates you can continue to stay on it for now.
