Jay:
Noted. Here is a teaser: Before NEM 3.0, as a PG&E customer, I was credited at retail rates for energy export. That value ranged between $0.388 to $0.486 per kWh (yes, these are the electrical rates in California). With NEM 3.0 I am credited at less than $0.01 per kWh. On-line articles predicted NEM3.0 would lower export compensation to about 25% of previous rates but the reality is much more stark. I am being compensated at 2.5% of what I previously received. Also the previous NEM 1.0 and 2.0 allowed for an annual true-up. The new plan requires settling monthly. This issue concerns everyone that sells and installs grid-connected solar because the ripple effect will be catastrophic. Your utility will want to use this as a model. This will kill the grid-connected solar market in California. If the solar market dies in California the economy of scale that keeps this industry going will decrease significantly. I think anyone on this list should be interested in this trend.

I am finding out some disturbing information. Does anyone on this list desire to start a discussion on the PG&E NEM3.0? Does anyone think we should keep that discussion on this list-serve?
