Just noticed a change in SDG&E billing rates. While the overall rate stays the same, the rate for generation has dropped to $.0932/KWH from $.22701/KWH. Transport charges went from $.06419/KWH to $.198/KWH. This means that SDG&E could pay you only the generation cost Of $09/KWH for excess po...

I don't have any problem with wholesale rates, so long as they are spot market prices. Consumers have to learn to self-consume PV to get the most value from its production. The missing piece is billing that lets consumers consume power distant from their production location. In a word: Produce at h...

It still remains to be seen what the reimbursement rates for excess solar power will be or whether Utilities will pay wholesale for power delivered to them and charge retail rates for power they supply to you. I don't have any problem with wholesale rates, so long as they are spot market prices. Co...

OK, The CPUC has removed the Connection fees for Solar PV generation. It still remains to be seen what the reimbursement rates for excess solar power will be or whether Utilities will pay wholesale for power delivered to them and charge retail rates for power they supply to you.

just buy from SDG&E when necessary Naive, since this is the crux of the utilitie's problem with rooftop PV: they do not sell enough energy to make you into a profitable customer. Unless of course you pay a hefty fee just for the connection. I would probably buy about 1500-3000 KWH annually. Abo...

The real answer here is to have enough battery backup available to keep your power onsite and not sell it to the utilities in the first place. If SDG&E wants to charge me for the privilege of net metering, I plan on canceling NEM. I'll install additional PV to compensate for winter conditions an...

I called the dealer today and requested cancelling the order. My wife is really concerned having the cloth vs leather with our dogs. When my Tesla model Y comes in the Leaf will become the local around town grocery getter and doctor visit transportation. The Tesla mission will primarily be to trave...

I have a deposit on a 2023 SV Plus to replace my 2020SL Plus. I was cleaning (detailing) the interior today to get it ready to trade in and I fell in love with how well the Leather has held up in 15,000 miles. I transport 2 dogs and a parrot in a cage on he back seat routinely. The dog slobber, Dog...

Truthfully at such wattages, I think Tesla had it right, instead of one massive circuit and cabling why not just use 2 separate plugs and EVSEs..... Or go three phase, there is already a standard for that (type 2, already used by EVs nearly everywhere in the world outside North America and China). ...

I guess we will see when it gets here. +1 I saw the ad last night during the opening football game and paused and read all the fine print, which there were quite a bit. And while they touted fall 2023 they also mentioned spring 2024 and I'll believe it when I see it. A 300-mile electric(what the ad...
