April 2023 – NEM 3.0 goes into effect in California
On April 15, 2023, NEM 3.0 went into effect for new solar customers. The decision means California residents who install solar after this date receive a lower rate for their solar energy sent to the electricity grid. Customers must also join the time-of-use energy plan from their utility. Peak hours and electricity rates vary by location. Though the value of energy credits decreased, installing solar panels is still worthwhile in California because of rising electricity rates and frequent power outages.
December 2022 – California passes Net Billing Tariff
The California Public Utilities Commission passed NEM 3.0, reducing the retail rate for solar owners in California to sell back their excess solar energy. NEM 3.0 increases the payback period by about nine years for a total of 15 instead of six. If you receive Permission to Operate (PTO) before April 15, 2023, you are locked into your current NEM policy for 20 years since your interconnection date. You must follow the new ruling if you do not meet the deadline.
August 2022 – Federal solar tax credit extended to 2034
The Residential Clean Energy Credit, formerly known as the Investment Tax Credit, helps homeowners offset the total cost of solar by 30%. The tax credit can be applied to solar systems purchased from the beginning of 2022 through 2032. In 2033, the credit decreases to 26%, and 22% in 2034, expiring in 2035. Fill out the IRS form 5695 to claim the solar tax credit. If you’re considering installing solar, the Residential Clean Energy Credit can significantly reduce the overall cost.
A power outage and voltage fluctuations in the grid can damage electronic appliances. When the power comes back on, a sudden surge of electricity could ruin the internal structure of computers and other electronics.
These tips can help you protect electronics during a power surge.
• Unplug important appliances, such as TVs, computers, or large appliances, as long as it is safe to do so.
• Invest in a surge protector ahead of time to make sure your appliances and electronics are protected. Plugging your appliances into power strips with a built-in surge protector is one of the easiest and cheapest ways to safeguard them. A surge protector blocks excess power from your appliances and redirects it to the power lines or the ground.
• Mounting an entire-house surge protector into your electrical panel will protect the house against power spikes and surges. This approach is better than using power strips with a built-in surge protector, although it may cost more.
• The best way to safeguard your home against voltage fluctuations is to install a surge protector along your electric line right up to where it meets your meter. A certified electrician must complete this work
