pv magazine: California’s pending changes to a critical policy will affect nearly everyone with a solar panel
California has embarked on a rewrite of the key policy that governs how anyone with a solar panel reduces their energy costs by exporting power to the grid.
Known as “Net Energy Metering,” or by the initials NEM 3.0, this third edition of the state’s policy for solar rooftops could make solar energy less valuable to new solar customers, setting off a rush to grandfather projects under the existing policy, and possibly affecting other states’ policies nationwide.
