Thinking about installing the Powerwalls and wondering if I will get moved from NEM1 to 2 when this is done. From what I have read I think this will happen so wondering what the differences are, I’m on E6 and have solar.

I would like the SGIP incentive.Are you applying for any PGE rebates or incentives? If not, I would say PGE needs to know diddly. Get your building permit, do the work and be done. The powerwall is nothing more than a BBS. You already have the solar grid tie agreement in place and powerwall doesnt push energy to the grid.
That's just me.
I believe you will stay on NEM 1. You are not increasing the size of your solar system so you should be fine.Thinking about installing the Powerwalls and wondering if I will get moved from NEM1 to 2 when this is done.

I will be using as back-up only so i believe it doesn' t apply in my case. I will know in a few months.My brother was switched off of E-6 and I believe switched to NEM 2 as well when he got his PTO for the Powerwall. The Powerwalls are considered part of the generating system, so even if you don't touch the PV part you get switched. They changed the rules some time last year. I was able to keep both NEM 1 and the E-6 rate with a PTO date of 7/26/18. I believe my brother's PTO was about a month later.
Referral award. I wouldn't be installing them if I had to purchase.Even in the other modes, my Powerwall doesn't export to the grid, so as far as PG&E is concerned I don't think backup-only is any different. I hope you are right, but I wouldn't recommend that somebody make a buying decision that depends on this being the case.
NEM 2.0 has Non-Bypassable Charges (NBC). What this means is that for every kWh you draw from the grid, there is a small charge, less than 1 cent per kWh that you have to pay every month outside of your true-up. IIRC, you have a separate meter for your EV charging on EV-B, so this is not so consequential for you. You could just run your Powerwall(s) in Self-Powered mode and you would have minimal NBCs except in Winter when your consumption is larger than your generation.What is the difference in NEM1 and nem2, I’m already on tou.

Yes this is what I fear, not sure what rate they would move me to because I have a second meter on EVB so they will not give me EVA.Even though E-6 is a TOU rate, it's now a closed rate. You probably will have to move off of E-6 if you get Powerwalls. The main impact this will have is that the peak hours for the newer TOU rates go later (until 8 or 9pm). This would probably reduce how much credit you get for solar generation.
I believe you'd get to choose which of the current TOU rate plans you want.Yes this is what I fear, not sure what rate they would move me to because I have a second meter on EVB so they will not give me EVA.
I had E-6 already and I was able to stay to it w/ Powerwalls and PG&E. This was a system that was installed a little over a year ago by Tesla w/ SGIP.
