NEM 3.0 Final Decision: The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) unanimously voted to approve NEM 3.0. Under NEM 3.0, PG&E, SCE, and SDG&E customers with solar systems will receive an average of 8 cents per kWh for the excess power they push onto the grid. This is roughly 75% less than the average export rate of 30 cents per kWh under NEM 2.0. IOU customers have until April 13, 2023, to be grandfathered into NEM 2.0 by submitting a complete interconnection application for a new solar system.

Even with the federal solar tax credit back at 30% until 2032, Californians have plenty of reason to go solar sooner than later.
