About The Author
What's your utility export structure? Do you receive full 1-1 net metering or a reduced export rate?
Lots of good tips and info. Nicely done!
another great presentation 👍
Solar export is complete BS in California right now. I get $0.03 per kwh for export and pay $0.60 per kwh on peak hours.
Net metering never could work long term. It was never sensible for the utilities to pay above supplier costs to homeowners.
I have no idea why your channel doesn't have tons more subscribers. Great info and presented in an easy to understand method.
SOLID into video Zach. I will be sending people to it to learn more. 🙂
Just go OFF GRID and be done with the utility companies.
With APS and the Time-Of-Use Demand charge rate plan, the off-peak rate and buyback rate (at least for those before Sep 1, 2024) are about the same (within a cent). For winter the super-off-peak is over a cent lower than the buyback rate.
