Back in April of 2023, The California Public Utilities Commission's new Net Billing Tariff (also known as NEM 3.0) took effect. The new structure dramatically changed how rooftop solar owners are compensated for any excess power that they produce and sell back to the grid. One year later and we have a bit of perspective on how the market is responding to these changes. For this week's Eight Minutes episode, I sat with Stephanie Doyle from Solar Energy Industries Association to discuss how the California solar market is adapting to NEM 3.0.

While today’s solar eclipse will only last 2-4 minutes, it illustrates the BIG importance of solar energy. During the August 2017 eclipse, the loss of renewable power generation added up to nearly 6 gigawatts—enough energy to power 600 million LED lightbulbs or 4.5 million homes! TX is prepared and not expected to experience any significant power disruptions, but it is a great case in point how small amounts of energy loss or gain can make a much bigger impact than expected. Our #WEES team specializes in identifying and avoiding energy (or water) losses at your home, business or property—learn more at https://lnkd.in/gPjP5Vij. #WeArePlummer https://lnkd.in/epYKSM7M, https://lnkd.in/gfY2Qt4h

What you know: you can expect a commercial solar PV system to produce less power in winter months. What you might not know: even with as little as 10% of potential output, a solar PV system will save you hundreds of pounds versus using grid electricity. That's just because solar PV is that much more cost-effective than importing electricity from the grid. What else did you need to know about solar PV in winter? It's all here in this blog ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eUfx2Bcz #solarpv #wintersaving #renewableenergy

The cost of solar energy has been consistently decreasing for years, and a recent study indicates that it may soon become affordable enough to provide power for entire households. This could mean that in the future, many houses in the UK will be powered solely by solar energy. #Solar #Energy #Sutainablility https://lnkd.in/daNa8mKu

Rooftop #solarpower has hit yet another historic milestone, generating 12GW on Australia’s main grid! 🇦🇺☀️ The record peak of 12,261 MW surpassed the previous high of 11,900 MW on September 30. During this peak, rooftop solar covered nearly 47% of the total grid demand. Australia now boasts over 20GW of rooftop solar PV. It often meets the majority of power demand during daylight hours, even covering 100% or more in certain states like South Australia.

Understanding the return on investment for PV solar can seem confusing, but it doesn't have to be. In our latest blog post, we break down the calculation to make it easier to understand. A standard grid-tied system essentially compares your electric consumption (what you use from the grid) to your electric production (what your solar panels produce). This simplified explanation can help you grasp the concept more easily. Learn more here https://buff.ly/3zTDfbP, and call us today! ☀️💰 #solar #returnoninvestment
