Has anyone out there whose residence is solar powered encountered a "Winter Usage Charge" attached as an additional charge to their Usage billed on 3 tiers from SDGE. December is the first time I have seen it and I have been on solar for over 4 years. When I asked the company about that their spokesperson said it was a transmission charge. O.K. My neighbor consumed nearly 1500kWh for December without solar while I was billed for just under 400kWh using solar. His bill reflected a "Winter Usage Charge of $6.00 while my bill reflected a "Winter Usage Charge" of $26.00.
WHAT IS GOING ON HERE? Should not he be paying an equal or greater transmission charge? His billing method is the same as mine so that factor is negated from the argument.
Solar Customers on net billing already compensate SDGE for use of the grid by virtue of sharing their production with SDGE customers during peak demand time. Collectively, solar users add profit to SDGE. An additional and uncontrollable transmission fee, bundled, or unbundled is not jusotified.
