correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't this new mandatory assignment to TOU with PG&E start when NEM2.0 starts. I think we can keep using E1 up to the change...which is soon. Some sites just don't have good afternoon options here in the Sierras (mountains, trees, etc) Do we start declining jobs that have excellent SE facing options? Please enlighten me.

Hi Jason,

The mandatory switch to a TOU rate along with NEM 2.0 forces all of us working with grid tied systems in CA to thoroughly rethink our game plan! We have been using Energy Toolbase (as Mac mentioned) to model proposals to accurately estimate post-solar bills under one of these new rates schedules. TOU-A in my experience tends to be a little better for folks in the “normal” monthly consumption range, say below 800-1000 kWh/month. High energy users will probably be better off going TOU-B. For those with electric vehicles, EV-A is a really good option. That said, we’re still wrapping our heads around the best rates and design strategies. The peak rates on the TOU schedules are getting later and later, so west facing arrays are definitely a plus.

Cheers,

August

Hi Wrenches,

I am looking at the new rates for PG&E’s time of use and was wondering what others in California are using Tou-A or Tou-B? it looks like if you have a West facing array Tou-B is going to be the better choice if you can control your usages.

Thanks for any input
