This is due to the abrogation of pure and simple 1:1 Net metering and on to a wholesale electric energy credit of Net Billing instead. Now at the wholesale electricity rate one is getting around $0.03/kWh credit which unless you have solar + battery for self consumption, your daily energy credit will be used up overnight for the majority of the time on a daily basis.

“By staying informed about policy changes, embracing innovations like energy storage and advocating for supportive policies, companies can continue to thrive and contribute to a sustainable energy landscape.”

I would submit for the consumer ‘policy’ or ‘what might happen’ is not their major concern. Price point, utility, reliability and longevity are important. So far one can get something on the order of a comprehensive system of solar PV panels of 13kWp, 15kW hybrid interactive inverter and 30kWh ‘kit’ for $26K the labor, and sometimes onerous ‘soft costs’ can make this a $35K to $40K installed system. Circuit breaker panel upgrades could be from $5K up to $15K more for smart home capability. The solar PV industry as a whole still needs training and hands on from companies and installers to get the right system on one’s home for the right price. It is becoming more obvious the TOU rate spiking periods are going to become front and center for electric utilities in the years to come. First it has been the attack on the initial 1:1 Net metering and there is still a push nationwide to abrogate existing PPAs from years past to be ‘foisted’ into Net billing with energy credits at wholesale pricing which may be 3 to 6 times less than bundled retail electricity throughout the day. The buzz word considerations now are solar + battery, self consumption, system hybrid interactive inverter, resiliency, with the proper programming and an automatic transfer switch could become a programmable custom system for each home to meet todays and tomorrows electric company revenue schemes in their favor. Grid agnostic is some better than off grid as with a smart system that is communication compliant with the local utility, one can use their system for arbitrage and grid services on demand as part of a local VPP with the electric company.
