Does SDG&E do net metering?
With Net Energy Metering, if you generate more than you use, SDG&E will give you credit and then put the energy on the grid for everyone else to use. Then when it’s nighttime or a cloudy day and your system can’t produce all the energy you need, we’ll apply those credits to the energy you purchase from us.
Will net metering go away in California?
The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) decided to delay the much-maligned Net Energy Metering (NEM) 3.0 proposal indefinitely. As proposed, it would have slashed the payments made by utility companies to rooftop solar owners for exporting their excess PV production back to the grid.

How does solar billing work with Sdge?

How does Sdge read my meter?
Your gas meter records and sends gas usage data through a smart “module” located behind the dials. The smart module moves the dials as gas is used. You can read from left-to-right or right-to-left. When the dial points between two numbers, write down the lower of the two numbers.
What happens at true-up Sdge?
