California homeowner gets first negative PG&E bill with battery exports
Original: California homeowner on NEM 3.0 gets first negative PG&E bill, thanks to August battery exports
A California homeowner on the state's NEM 3.0 solar billing scheme has received their first negative PG&E bill, with excess electricity exported from a home battery in August more than covering their usage charges. It is being cited as an example of how battery storage can offset the steep export-rate cuts introduced under NEM 3.0, which slashed payments for rooftop solar power sent to the grid.
Why now: NEM 3.0 reduced solar export credits sharply, so proof that batteries can still produce a negative bill is drawing attention from California solar owners.
