What does Export Rate mean?
An export rate is the compensation a utility or program provides for energy sent from a solar system to the grid.
What should installers verify about Export Rate in a solar-plus-storage design?
Energy management depends on when solar is produced, when the site uses energy, how exports are credited, and how batteries are dispatched. The best control strategy can change with utility tariff, region, season, and customer goals.
Practical design considerations
- Separate energy capacity, power output, backup duration, and load priority; they are related but not interchangeable.
