On the advice of a friend who also has solar and an EV, we switched to the TOU2 plan. We had a positive usage of 90kWh for the billing period that just ended, and yet we still had a negative bill. No more tiers! I was told, specifically, by SDG&E that on TOU2, you are credited at the rate of electricity when you generate, and billed at the rate of electricity when you use. It's that simple, and that does, in fact, appear to be the case. I've seen plenty of forum posts, across multiple forums, debating the topic, so I thought I'd chime in. We appear to have been credited at $0.49 per kWh during on peak (12-6pm) while we're generating power, and billed at $0.16 super off peak, and $.22 off peak, for the hours when we're using electricity. We can use more than we produce, and still have a negative bill. It's also worth mentioning that we have a Jacuzzi, and that the timer on the Jacuzzi sets itself based on when it is powered on, so we powered it on during the cheaper rate period, and programmed it's cycles accordingly.
