What solar actually returns, and why batteries matter more than ever in California.
Solar lowers your electricity bill by letting you generate power instead of buying all of it from the utility. In California, where residential rates are among the highest in the nation and continue to rise, the savings compound year after year.
Under NEM 3.0, the net billing tariff that took effect in 2023 for PG&E, SCE and SDG&E customers, export credits for sending solar to the grid dropped sharply. Battery storage is now central to capturing full value: you store your midday solar and use it in the evening instead of exporting it for a fraction of its worth.
Every year utility rates climb, the value of producing your own power grows. Solar effectively locks in a portion of your energy cost, shielding you from increases you can't control.
