It’s about time! Why should the non-solar customers be subsidizing the solar users. If the solar users don’t like it, they can just disconnect from the grid entirely.
Net Energy Metering has been giving solar users reverse credit for the excess generation they put on the grid for the use of other customers.
Paying the solar owner full rate for that energy costs the utility next to nothing, as they pay nothing to generate it, and the ultimate users of that energy pay the utility full rate for it.
That’s not a “subsidy” by any definition.
I’m not sure which net metering agreement we’re on, but we bank kilowatt hours, not dollar values when we generate excess energy and then use them up at night and during the summer to run the air conditioner. Generally speaking it’s not a good idea to install a system that generates much more than you use even prior to any rule changes. We installed a slightly larger system but only because we anticipate purchasing electric vehicles in a few years.
