加州屋顶太阳能计划2023年将如何调整
如果您正在考虑使用太阳能，您需要知道什么？
The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) issued a decision on December 15, 2022 that changed the way Net Energy Metering (NEM) works in California. Solar applications received after April 15, 2023, were enrolled in the new Net Billing Tariff (NBT), also called the Solar Billing Plan where customers are credited for electricity they export based on its value to the grid. Based on a press release from the CPUC, these changes were made to promote grid reliability, incentivize battery storage, and control electricity costs for all Californians.
这对现有和未来的太阳能客户意味着什么？
Customer That Installed Solar Before April 2023
- The CPUC decision did not impact existing rooftop solar customers.
- You remain on your current NEM tariff for 20 years after your system was connected to the electric grid. Based on the current rules set by the CPUC decision, you will maintain your current compensation rates through those 20 years.
- In most cases, you can add battery storage without changing to the NBT. However, utility providers evaluate system modifications on a case-by-case basis. Factors such as increases in solar generating capacity, equipment configuration, and interconnection requirements can affect eligibility. Check with your installer and PG&E before making changes to an existing solar system. Always verify utility interconnection requirements before any additions.
Customers That Installed Solar After April 2023
If you submitted an application to install rooftop solar to PG&E on or after April 15, 2023 (without receiving an extension), you are enrolled in the new Net Billing Tariff (NBT).
- CPUC 估计，通过 NBT，普通住宅用户每月仍可节省 100 多美元的能源账单。
- 此外，CPUC 的决定还为在未来五年内采用太阳能或太阳能与电池储能搭配的住宅用户提供额外的電 抵扣。这些额外的电费抵免保证将持续九年。据 CPUC 称，这些电费减免与能源账单节省相结合，将使客户在九年或更短时间内完全付清系统费用。
- Federal tax incentives remain available through December 31, 2027, for solar and battery systems offered through leases and power purchase agreements (PPAs). These incentives can help lower the cost of going solar for homeowners who choose a third-party-owned system.
- CPUC 预计，NBT 将激励更多用户将其太阳能系统与电池储能系统结合起来，这样他们就可以将白天生产的太阳能储存起来，并在晚上电网最需要的时候将其输出，以保证电网的可靠性。这意味着增加一个蓄电池有助于缩短新太阳能客户的投资回收期，因为晚上输出的能源价值更高。
SVCE and Solar
Every April, SVCE pays residential and commercial NEM customers for surplus generation. SVCE will pay the net surplus compensation rate (NSC rate) per kilowatt-hour (kWh) set by PG&E for any net excess solar that is produced on an annual basis. The NSC rate is based on current market prices and varies each month based on PG&E’s analyses. You can find their NSC rates by month here. Income-qualified customers will receive additional compensation at a price 2.5 times the NSC rate per kilowatt-hour.
太阳能为您的全电力住宅供电
If you are planning to go all-electric, install a heat pump heating and cooling system, heat pump water heater, or drive an electric vehicle (EV), solar could make sense for you. Syncing the electricity use of your most energy-intensive appliances and EV charging to when solar is producing during the day helps you make the most of the energy you generate, cuts emissions, and could help save on your power bill.
SVCE 目前可為熱泵冷暖系統和熱泵熱水器提供回贈 。了解更多信息：svcleanenergy.org/home-回贈。
