What is Net Energy Metering (NEM) and Why Does It Matter?

Net Energy Metering (NEM) allows solar system owners to earn credits for excess energy sent back to the grid. Since its introduction in 1995, it has made solar energy accessible, reduced costs, and encouraged renewable adoption.

NEM’s Evolution and Impact

Over the years, NEM policies have evolved to support California’s clean energy objectives:

This shift helps users store energy for peak times while balancing fair compensation and supporting California’s clean energy goals.

Understanding these changes empowers businesses to optimize energy use and savings under the new policy by:

NEM 2.0 vs. NEM 3.0: Key Changes in Solar NEM 3 California

The transition to NEM 3.0 CPUC emphasizes energy storage and self-consumption. Here's a quick comparison:

Feature NEM 2.0 NEM 3.0
Export Compensation Rates Retail rates (~$0.30/kWh) Avoided cost rates (~$0.08/kWh)
Time-of-Use Rates Flexible schedule options Mandatory provider-defined schedules
Energy Storage Incentives Limited Strongly incentivized
Grandfathering Period 20 years for existing customers Existing NEM 2.0 benefits retained; new applicants follow NEM 3.0

In summary, NEM 3.0 shifts focus from exporting energy to using stored energy effectively, making battery storage a critical component of modern solar systems.

Incentives for Energy Storage

Net energy metering 3.0 California strongly encourages businesses to adopt battery storage systems. By storing excess energy during off-peak hours and using it during peak periods, businesses can offset higher electricity rates and reduce reliance on the grid.
This approach saves money and enhances energy independence and operational resilience.

What Our Clients Say About Our NEM 3.0 Services

man

I hired A&G electric to install solar panels on the roof of my house. Prior to work starting, I received a consultation regarding the number of panels needed to cover my energy costs and what was doable given my existing electric panel. I then received a detailed proposal where costs, number of panels, and expected solar output were outlined. The team was very punctual and completed work on time as promised. After the installation, they made sure everything was functional and the grid showed up on the phone app, which can be used to monitor the system. Some time after the work was done, I had questions about permits as well as grid output, and the team was extremely responsive and helpful. As described above, my experience with A&G Electric was great and I’d recommend them to anyone looking for quality solar installation work.

A&G Electric made the entire solar installation process seamless. Scheduling, inspections, and the install were handled with great professionalism, and they even replaced a few broken roof tiles—an unexpected but much-appreciated touch. Their quote was clear and easy to understand, outlining exactly what I was getting, expected savings, and my return on investment (ROI). This transparency gave me full confidence in moving forward. The app training was simple and thorough, and their excellent customer service kept me informed every step of the way. Safe practices throughout gave me peace of mind. Best of all, my electric bills have dropped significantly! I highly recommend A&G Electric for their expertise, attention to detail, and outstanding service.
