重视太阳能计费计划的客户

NEM 1.0 and NEM 2.0 customers, when your 20-year legacy period ends, 您的帐户将过渡到太阳能计费计划. You will be notified by email and in My Account before your account transitions.

Virtual Net Energy Metering and NEM Aggregation customers who submit an interconnection application after February 14, 2024, 您的帐户将在2025年初过渡到太阳能计费计划.

What is Solar Billing

What is the Solar Billing Plan?

In December 2022, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) voted to modernize the rooftop solar program to better balance the needs of the grid, the environment and customers.

太阳能计费计划有助于提高傍晚电网的可靠性, 当太阳下山,能源消耗高的时候, 部分原因是鼓励太阳能与电池存储相结合. 电池储能可以将可再生能源的使用延长到晚上的高峰时段, 有助于减少对化石燃料发电的需求. This reduces overall grid costs, which improves energy affordability for all Californians.

现代化太阳能定价:进口和出口电力

太阳能计费计划基于分时电价(TOU)定价结构, where the price of electricity used (imported) and sent back (exported) to the grid varies depending on the time of day. The TOU structure is intended to support California’s clean energy transition by sending price signals to customers when the demand on the grid is higher or lower.

You will receive bill credits for any surplus energy your solar system delivers back (exports) to the power grid. The energy export credit received is based on the value of kilowatt-hours sent to the electric grid at each hour of the day.

住宅用户太阳能定价计划

太阳能计费计划的住宅用户有一个使用时间(EVTOU5)计划. 商业客户将继续使用现有的定价方案.

EVTOU5计划分为高峰时段、非高峰时段和超级非高峰时段. 如果你在下午4点的高峰时段以外使用能源,你就可以省下这笔钱.m. to 9 p.m. and by adding battery storage to your system to use stored energy during on-peak hours. 这个计划包括每月16美元的基本服务费. 

If your electricity is purchased by a Community Choice Aggregator (CCA),请与您的CCA联系以获取更多有关进出口价格的信息.

太阳能客户援助计划

弱势社区-单户太阳能住宅(DAC-SASH)

The DAC-SASH program, managed by Grid Alternatives, helps income-qualified homeowners in Disadvantaged Communities (DAC) receive no-cost rooftop solar installations. Visit GRID Alternatives to see if you qualify or wish to apply. 欲了解更多针对弱势群体的太阳能项目详情,请访问 CPUC's website.

自我激励计划(SGIP)

Considering battery storage? 利用自我激励计划(SGIP). SGIP is a CPUC program that offers rebates for installing energy storage in your home. Energy storage can help absorb excess solar energy generated by your rooftop solar in the middle of the day, 所以你可以在下午4点的高峰时段使用这些能量.m. to 9 p.m. when electricity is the most expensive. 此外,能源储存可以帮助你在停电时保持家里的电力供应. For more information and how to apply for financial incentives for energy storage, visit SGIPSD.org.

San Diego Solar Equity Program (SDSEP)

圣地亚哥太阳能股权计划为符合收入条件的人提供资金援助, single-family homeowners in the City of San Diego to offset the cost of solar panel installation. To be eligible for the solar incentive, a customer must meet all of the eligibility requirements. 欲了解更多有关该计划和资格,请访问 SD Solar Equity.

Virtual Solar Billing Plan (VSBP)

 Timing of Implementation: If your interconnection application was submitted after February 14, 2024, 您的帐户将暂时使用虚拟净能源计量(VNEM)服务. Your account is expected to transition to the Virtual Solar Billing Plan (VSBP) after SDG&E将在2025年初为新计划更新其系统和流程.

Virtual Solar Billing Plan (VSBP) involves several customers sharing a single renewable energy system. 此选项最适用于具有多个租户的属性, 比如公寓大楼和办公楼.

例如:如果你是一个四单元公寓大楼的租户, 你的房东安装了带有VSBP的太阳能系统, 您将获得该系统输出的一定百分比. Let’s say your allocation is 5%. 如果这个系统产生的能量超过了你的建筑需求, 你将获得相同百分比的学分(5%). 建筑的使用将全部通过一个米来计算, 但你还是会收到个人账单.

Solar Billing Plan Aggregation

 Timing of Implementation: If your interconnection application was submitted after February 14, 2024, 您的帐户将暂时使用NEM聚合服务. Your account is expected to transition to the Solar Billing Plan  Aggregation after SDG&E将在2025年初为新计划更新其系统和流程.

Solar Billing Plan Aggregation is designed for customers with renewable systems on multi-metered properties. It allows you to “aggregate” your energy production and consumption into one account, so you can offset your non-renewable energy use with your renewable energy surplus.

A good example is a small farm: If the farmhouse is equipped with solar panels that generate surplus energy, that surplus can be used to offset the energy costs incurred by a water pump used for irrigation on another area of the property.

Solar Billing Plan FAQs

您的帐户正在过渡到太阳能计费计划,因为:

  1. 你们的太阳系已经达到了20年新能源时代的末期. 注意:如果你最近搬进了一个有太阳能的房子, the NEM legacy period began when the solar panels were initially installed and interconnected. OR
  2. 你的互联申请是在4月15日之后, 2023, 你们的太阳系处于临时NEM 2上.0 plan until December 2023.

Yes. The Solar Billing Plan monthly bill will reflect charges for electricity used (imported) and apply credits for electricity delivered back (exported) to the grid. The bill will also include a $16 basic monthly service fee as part of the TOU plan. All SDG&E customers, whether solar or non-solar, 为公共项目支付小额费用(不可绕过的费用). 在出口信贷过剩的月份, the credits will roll over to following months until used or until the annual “true-up.“出口信贷不能用于不可绕过的费用.

Community Choice Aggregators (CCAs), purchase or generate electricity on behalf of customers. If your electricity is purchased by a CCA and you also generate your own solar energy and store it in a storage system, 你的CCA设定了从你的太阳能系统输出能源的价格, 以及进口到你家里的能源的成本. Please refer to your CCA 有关进出口价格的更多信息.

You will receive bill credits for the surplus energy your system exports back into the grid. The credit is based on the electricity’s value in each hour of the day and also varies by season. 如果你在太阳能系统中安装电池存储系统, you may be able to program it to automatically use stored energy from your system during peak time periods instead of using energy from the grid. 如果您的电力是由CCA购买的,请参阅您的 CCA 有关进出口价格的更多信息.

是的,您仍然可以在太阳能计费计划中使用医疗基线. Solar Billing Plan customers are on the EVTOU5 pricing plan which includes a basic service fee and overall lower pricing per kWh. Your Medical Baseline discount may not be as significant because of this lower pricing.

As a Solar Billing Plan customer, you can oversize your generation system by no more than 50% with two requirements: 

  1. The measurement of oversizing will be in comparison to the past 12 months of usage unless you do not yet have 12 months of usage or attest to having more recently increased usage.
  2. You must attest to an expected increase in usage corresponding with the system size within 12 months of interconnection. 

Net surplus generation will be compensated at the current net surplus compensation rates.
