Beat NEM 3.0 Before It Beats You

SCE just announced another rate increase for Q3 2026. Lock in your rate before it adjusts.

NEM 3.0

NEM 3.0 Changed Everything — Here's How to Win

01

NEM 3.0 slashed solar export credits by 75%, making the old "sell back to the grid" strategy obsolete.

02

The new optimal strategy is solar + battery storage through a zero-down program — store your power during the day and use it during peak hours (4-9 PM) when SCE charges up to $0.60/kWh.

03

With our zero-down program, the provider handles the battery system too — $0 down, fully maintained, and your locked-in rate beats SCE's Time-of-Use pricing.

04

Section 48E gives your solar provider a 30% commercial tax credit, which they pass to you as a lower electricity rate.

Why California

The California Solar Advantage

Battery Arbitrage Strategy

Store solar power during the day, use it during peak hours when SCE charges $0.60/kWh. The program includes battery at $0 additional cost.

Beat Time-of-Use Pricing

SCE's TOU rates punish evening usage. Solar + battery lets you avoid peak pricing entirely.

NEM 3.0 Proof

Our zero-down model doesn't rely on export credits. You consume your own power — NEM 3.0 changes don't affect your savings.

Section 48E Applied

Your solar provider claims the 30% commercial credit and passes savings directly to your locked-in rate.

25-Year Rate Lock

While SCE raises rates 5-8% annually, your rate stays fixed for the entire contract term.

300+ Sunny Days

California's solar irradiance is among the highest in the nation — your system produces maximum output year-round.
