I've been reading thru this thread with interest. I'm NEM 1.0 - went live 5/15. I have west facing panels that generate around 95-105% of our power needs, 55% of which is charging our EV, which we do on TOU-D-A, overnight, as the car is in use during the day. Our vendor is SCE. I'm very...

great - good to know. I know my system is built for my usage, so i'm not 'expecting' much more then I use. I've only been live a few days, and with the mini-heat wave i'm not sure they can really be considered representative. That said, I typically consume 16-18kwH per day, and the last 4 days...

ok, so if you play the TOU game well, you could actually use significantly more energy then you produce, and still end up not paying anything more to Edison?

thanks very much! I think I understand how it works now. Now, let me reverse this around - lets say: -I produce 5000kwH in a year on-peak, $0.40kwh, that's a credit of $2000 -I use 7000kwh in a year, super off peak, $0.11kwh, that's a bill of $770 I'd be left with a credit of $1230. But, after...

ok thanks - so if i'm understanding this correctly, under my 'created 5000kwh, used 5000kwh' scenario, despite generating at peak times and establishing a significant credit, that disappears at the end of 12months, as it reverts to kwH production vs. use, and i've used exactly what I generated...

how does So Cal Edison calculate surplus compensation Hi all - great thread! I'm in a similar boat to a lot on this thread - I'm a SoCal resident, with Edison, with an EV and solar panels. My issue has been the learning curve - I've only had the EV since November, and my solar system just went...
