California’s transition to Net Energy Metering 3.0 (NEM 3.0) has stirred a lot of confusion — and concern. While it’s true that the export rate for excess solar energy has dropped, that doesn’t mean solar is no longer worth it.

It means your system needs to be designed smarter:

  • Right-sizing: We’ll analyze your usage and build a system that prioritizes offsetting your use, not exporting to the grid.
  • Battery integration: Batteries are now essential. They store excess energy during the day, so you can use it at night — when utility rates spike.
  • Load shifting: We help clients program smart batteries to discharge during peak hours, optimizing your savings even under the new rules.

I’ve helped California homeowners adjust to every utility policy change since 2008. NEM 3.0 is just another evolution — and with the right setup, you still win.
