Everything You Need To Know About NEM 3.0
What is NEM 3.0?
NEM 3.0 is a new version of the net energy metering (NEM) billing structure that went to effect April 14th, 2023, in California, enabling utilities to reduce homeowner export rates
How will NEM 3.0 impact my business?
NEM 3.0 encourage homeowners to install a battery with their PV to maximize savings. To continue to grow your business, it is crucial to start selling solar + storage now and educate customers on the many benefits of self-consumption in the new NEM 3.0 world.
Will NEM 3.0 impact my customers with existing solar systems?
No. All systems with an approved interconnection application submitted to the utility by April 14th will remain under their current structure.
How will battery benefit my NEM 3.0 customers?
NEM 3.0 incentivizes homeowners to export to the grid from a battery during certain times of the year. Homeowners are also incentivized to maximizeSelf-consumption as much as possible.
Can customers enrolled in NEM 3.0 still export energy back to the grid?
Yes. However, their rate of compensation will be reduced
Are there system size limitations under NEM 3.0?
Yes. You may only oversize systems up to 50% greater than their previous 12 month’s energy usage.
How often will the export rates be updated?
The Avoided Cost Calculator (ACC) will be updated every two years.
Is there an additional grid access fee homeowners have to pay under NEM 3.0?
There is no additional access fee outside of the standard $10-15 monthly access fee that exists currently.
How are utilities incentivizing battery installs?
PG&E and SCE are offering homeowners monetary incentives on top of the standard export rate for up to 9 years. These "adders" will vary among utilities, income brackets, and will decrease over the years.
Do customers get adders by default, or do they need to apply for them?
Assuming the system meets the NEM 3.0 requirements, homeowners will receive the adders automatically.
If the system changes ownership, can the new owner reapply for adders?
They cannot, the adders only apply to “the customer that originally causes the system to be installed”
How will True Up Bills be affected?
Under NEM 3.0, True Up Bills are monthly, not annually.
If a NEM 1.0 or 2.0 system changes ownership, will it move to NEM 3.0?
